Housebuilder Casamia Homes creates bespoke hillside home in Hazelwood

Derby-based housebuilder Casamia Homes has finished building its latest property – a bespoke hillside home in Hazelwood near Duffield.

Renowned local architect Matthew Montague designed the 3600 sqft property, which features three creative storeys – maximising living space and capturing breathtaking views across the Ecclesbourne valley.

George Tyler, Land and Sales Director at Casamia Homes, said: “We are thrilled with how Gateway House has turned out. We spent a lot of time discussing our client's aspirations and requirements, and it was vital to us to create something special and different—while ultimately being a usable house that they could call home.”

The property features a basement bar and party room, an open-plan kitchen/diner, a dual-aspect lounge with a striking fireplace, three en-suite bedrooms, including a vaulted master, an open-plan dressing room, a double garage, a 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 and underfloor heating, which runs off an air-source heat pump. Connected Home Systems was commissioned to design and install an array of modern smart control systems operating heating and A/C ventilation, networks, CCTV, Audio/Visual, and lighting systems throughout the interior and exterior of the property. Matthew Montague 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 to maximise natural daylight and take in the stunning views across the valley while presenting a more formal and measured approach from the roadside.

“Casamia Homes approached the project with diligence and professionalism on a very challenging site which faced a series of physical constraints. No stone was left unturned to achieve an exceptional standard of finish. I am delighted with the finished result, and I know the new owner is equally delighted with their new home.”

Dan Taylor, Construction Director at Casamia Homes, said: “This was a relatively complicated build incorporating a complex drainage system, a basement built into the site's natural topography and bespoke fixtures and fittings throughout. Whilst one-off builds aren’t our primary offering, it highlights our team’s abilities. Since completing Gateway House, our attention has turned to cementing our pipeline of new developments. We have some exciting schemes which we are working towards bringing to the market in the near future.”

Casamia Homes was set up by a number of ex-shareholders, directors, and employees from Radleigh Homes following its sale and acquisition by Redrow in 2017. The firm recently moved into new offices on Pride Park.
