New homes in Southsea: The first look at PJ Livesey’s eco- friendly homes at St James Park
The 58 new homes are designed with a contemporary edge and have been carefully conceived to complement the architectural heritage of the former St James Hospital, which is being refurbished into a further 151 stunning and unique new homes.
PJ Livesey is committed to delivering homes that meet the highest energy-efficiency standards and has incorporated a host of eco-friendly features designed to reduce environmental impact and lower household bills.
Cutting edge sustainability meets elegant design
Residents will benefit from state-of-the-art energy solutions, including EV charging points, triple-glazed windows, underfloor heating, and mechanical ventilation systems that ensure all-year-round comfort and cost savings.
Innovative water conservation measures such as low-flow taps and water-efficient showerheads, further enhance sustainability.
These features work collectively to reduce energy consumption, with new homeowners expected to make significant annual savings on utility costs.
A highly sought-after development
As the first phase of development progresses, demand has been exceptionally high, with over 80% of the homes already reserved.
With prices starting from £449,950, the remaining newly built 3, 4, and 5 bedroom eco-friendly homes each feature private gardens and dedicated parking.
Meanwhile, repurposing efforts continue on the Grade II-listed main building, where luxurious 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 bedroom living spaces will extend into expansive private gardens, all set within mature parkland. Prices start at £219,950.
This serene green oasis offers residents a tranquil retreat, beautifully merging heritage with contemporary lifestyle aspirations.
Prospective buyers who have pre-registered their interest will receive an exclusive invitation to a private preview of the Designer Dressed Show Home in the beautifully converted Goddard Wing on March 22 and 23, ahead of the public national launch of St James Park in April.
Long-term cost savings and environmental benefits
Georgina Lynch, Managing Director at PJ Livesey, said: “We are thrilled to introduce some of the most energy-efficient homes we’ve ever built while preserving the rich heritage of this iconic Southsea site.
“Quality and sustainability are at the core of our work, and we believe that luxury living and eco-conscious design should go hand in hand.
“At St James Park, residents will enjoy cutting-edge home features that not only enhance comfort and style but also deliver long-term cost savings and environmental benefits.
Adding to the development’s appeal, the revitalised main building will house a welcoming residents’ lounge, dedicated workspaces, and thoughtfully designed communal areas.
There is ample off-street parking and scenic outdoor spaces, providing opportunities for relaxation, bringing people together, and enhancing the sense of community.
St James Park is a site steeped in history
St James Hospital opened in 1879 as an asylum before later expanding to treat infectious diseases in the 1880s.
It had been designed by renowned Victorian architect George Rake.
During the First World War, it served as a military hospital and later transitioned into a general hospital under the NHS, remaining operational until its closure in 2018.
