Andrew Gibson House, located in New Brighton, Wallasey. This impressive landmark was completed back in 1906 and was presented by a famous Liverpool cotton merchant to provide a home for the widows of the sailors who lost their lives at sea. This amazing brick and sandstone building stands in its own landscaped, gated area on the Wirral waterfront and enjoys an uninterrupted view of the world-famous Liverpool skyline.
This impressive building shows both Edwardian Philanthropy and collective welfare. It was funded by Andrew Gibson, constructed by his son and supported by union member subscriptions. SAVE considers that it is a historic and soundly built asset, a memorial to Merseyside’s maritime history, union solidarity and Edwardian philanthropy. Bequests of such size and grandeur are increasingly rare, especially those directly for the benefit of women.
This historic landmark was left derelict for a decade, and Nautilus applied to get this beautiful building demolished until recently when planning was granted to bring this piece of history back to life.
The building has already demonstrated that it is ideal for repurposing to apartments, indeed the local authority has already granted permission for conversion, and has approved permission for some enabling development on the grounds. The building remains in essentially good order, requiring mainly remedial works to its roof and services.
The planning granted means High quality accommodation can be provided to people in the area located within close proximity of both Wirral waters and Liverpool city centre and business district.
Liverpool was inscribed on to UNESCO’s World Heritage list in 2004 as being of universal human value as the supreme example of a commercial port of the 18th, 19th and early 20th Cs. Liverpool achieved its commercial success due to a wide range of factors and people but the sailors and ship-masters who sailed the ships were central to that success.
Although Andrew Gibson House is outside the WHS, it is closely associated with it both thematically and physically (on the opposite side of the river), and it contributes to the outstanding universal value of Liverpool’s global influence.
UNESCO has placed Liverpool on its World Heritage List in Danger and has demanded the UK Government submit to the World Heritage Centre, by 1 February 2015, an updated report, including a 1-page executive summary, on the state of conservation of the property for examination by the World Heritage Committee at its 39th session in 2015.
The work is now underway on this amazing development with completion due to be September 2021. The developers have so far delivered over 2000 high end luxury units across Liverpool and Merseyside. Mason Verdi LTD are marketing the units in this amazing site and since launch in late October 2020, they have sold over 20 units until December 2020 and hope to sell out the units by the end of February latest.
The apartments and houses are uniquely placed and are suitable for both owner-occupiers and investors. The location, the view, the secure gated community ticks the boxes both for locals who want to enjoy the view or professionals who want to be within a short commute of work but do not want the hustle and bustle of city center living. Overall this development ticks all of the boxes and will be a landmark for people to enjoy once again.
Mason Verdi is one of the fastest growing, property development & investment companies in the North-West UK. This company started life as sales agents for investor-lead properties and over the years has evolved into three arms of development, management and of course sales.
