Gateway House

Built into the natural slope of the hillside, this three-bedroom bespoke home has been crafted entirely around the client’s vision. Delivered through our Signature Homes service, Casamia supported every stage of the journey — from land acquisition and design development to sourcing fixtures and finishes, managing the build, and providing dedicated post-completion aftercare. The home enjoys uninterrupted horizon views to both the front and rear, and is positioned in the highly sought-after village of Hazelwood, just three miles from Duffield.

The property features; a basement bar and party room, open plan kitchen/diner, dual aspect lounge with a striking fireplace, three en-suite bedrooms with a vaulted master, open plan dressing room, double garage, sun terrace and a sunken courtyard to the rear.

To make the house as energy efficient as possible, Casamia Homes installed a PV solar system as well as underfloor heating which runs off an Air Source Heat Pump. There’s also a Anderson car charging point. This combination of renewables makes the house as self sufficient as possible relieving any requirement from the grid.

Additionally, there is an array of modern smart-home control systems operating; heating and A/C ventilation, networks, CCTV, Audio/Visual and lighting systems throughout both the interior and exterior of the property.

The house was designed by local renowned architect, Matthew Montague. Matthew said, “ It was a pleasure to have the opportunity to design this very individual home for an informed client in a stunning countryside location. The design was specifically tailored in order to maximise natural daylight and the stunning views across the Ecclesbourne Valley – whilst presenting a more formal and measured approach from the roadside. The combination of modern construction methods and high quality locally sourced natural materials have come together to create a very welcoming contemporary home. 

Casamia Homes approached the project with diligence and professionalism on what was a very challenging site facing a series of physical constraints. No stone was left un-turned in order to achieve an exceptional standard of finish, I am delighted with the finished result and to hear from the new owner that they are equally delighted with their new home’.
