Hopewell - Built in 2020, Hopewell is an architectural showpiece in contemporary, energy efficient design, which draws inspiration from its historic roots as a former part of the Kedleston Hall country estate.

Relaxation, inspiration, indulgence and escapism have all been encapsulated in spectacular fashion to create a stunning home with a sensational feel, creating a benchmark for modern luxury. Hopewell offers the ultimate in high-end living, in the most glorious of English countryside settings.

Meticulous attention to detail has been given to all aspects of the property design, including the use of state-of-the-art building fabric and technology to ensure high levels of thermal retention, efficiency and air quality; the use of high-quality local materials and expansive landscaping to seat the property in its surroundings; and inside the property, the creation of flow and unique spaces, with uniformity in high-quality material selection, fixtures, and fittings. This is demonstrated in the expansive limestone floor which was made to order and flows seamlessly through the entire ground floor and bathrooms around the property. Custom oak doors throughout give a sense of opulence and include feature ‘ceiling-height’ pocket doors to the lounge and playroom, giving the option of open plan living, or space separation, as desired.
