Hope House, Charles Hamilton’s original Grade-II listed mansion, has now been skillfully restored and refurbished to provide seven luxurious two and four bedroom apartments. All seven apartments have double reception rooms, designer kitchens and master bedroom suites with walk-in dressing rooms and master bathrooms. Other features include generous ceiling heights, up to 3.6 metres high, and original doors. Five of the apartments in Hope House have fully fitted bespoke kitchens by Stephen Graver kitchens with quartz stone worktops, Miele appliances and wine fridge/cooler. The restored mansion fronts onto an upper garden terrace, with a grand staircase leading to the communal formal lawn with informal parkland beyond. Arranged around the historic Hope House, the development offers magnificent elevated views across the city and also provides a collection of beautifully crafted, newly built homes, including three and four bedroom townhouses at Park Row; three bedroom townhouses at the Hope Place Houses; and one, two and three bedroom apartments called the Hope Place Apartments. Honey coloured Bath Stone, sash windows, quality paving and handcrafted metalwork have been incorporated into the new build elements of the scheme, enabling them to compliment the listed mansion.
