All the homes have been designed to an impressive specification
which includes fully fitted designer kitchens by Leicht, with
integrated Miele and Neff appliances and granite worktops.
Other features include master ensuites with Roman inspired
polish marble flooring, the use of natural timber, bespoke
joinery and antique bronze finishes.
Complete with concierge service, the development is set in
six acres of parkland which includes a tennis court, walkways,
seating and mature trees. So what has become of Hamilton’s
famous vineyard? Alas it no longer exists. After the Hamilton
family the vineyard was not maintained and its location today
has been replaced by a woodland and orchard of mature
planting and trees.
However, like Charles Hamilton and his guests, the new
residents of the Hope House development can stroll on the
beautiful main lawn, take a tour of the gardens and enjoy the
parkland and woodland beyond.

During the summer months, just like the Hamilton family,
residents and their guests can take chairs, throws, champagne,
fine wines and a picnic basket and enjoy al fresco drinks and
dining in the magnificent private gardens and parkland.
Robin Squire, Regional Managing Director at Acorn
Property Group’s Bristol office says: “Once the stately home
of Charles Hamilton, England’s first commercial ‘champagne’
vintner, Hope House, its gardens and vineyard entertained
Ambassadors, vintners and Emma, mistress of Vice-Admiral
Horatio Nelson. The vineyard is gone, but we have restored
Hamilton’s mansion and the six acres of parkland, creating a
truly unique and exceptional place to live in Bath.”
David Galman, Sales Director at Galliard Homes says: “It has
been a key concern for all involved to preserve the history of
Hope House yet create a new future as an exclusive residential
address.
