About The Development
Located in the heart of York, The Retreat is a Grade II listed 18th-century estate founded by Quaker philanthropist William Tuke. Internationally recognised for pioneering approaches to mental health care, the estate has played a significant role in shaping modern treatment practices.
Now being sensitively transformed by PJ Livesey, The Retreat will become a unique community of 120 heritage and new-build homes. Historic buildings will be carefully restored, preserving many original features, while sustainable new homes will complement their surroundings.
Residents will enjoy access to 30 acres of landscaped grounds, including a Peace and Tranquillity Garden along with an orchard. Drawing on over 45 years of experience restoring iconic historic properties, PJ Livesey is proud to secure the future of this remarkable York landmark while opening it up for future generations to enjoy.
