extraordinarily back to life
Once home to antiquarian Horace Walpole, Earl of Orford, ‘Heckfield Place’ has been masterfully re-crafted into an stylish countryside hotel with beautiful bedrooms, two restaurants and a private cinema, spa, wine cellar, gardens and farm, centred on sustainability and biodynamic farming principles.
Spratley & Partners completed the dramatic transformation of the 430-acre site in Hampshire, UK into the UK’s most eagerly anticipated, luxury hotel in 2018, after a significant programme of restoration works which began in 2009.
After years of careful restoration and collaboration, this elegant, Grade II listed Georgian house and estate has been brought back to life and sensitively woven into its secluded landscape surroundings.
“A lot of care has been taken; the attention to detail is extraordinary. The historic property and grounds have been lovingly restored and future-proofed and we have had the luxury of time to do this. You can feel this when you spend time at Heckfield Place – you can see it in the restored architectural details, the established, fruitful gardens, the complementary interior design – you can even taste it in the quality of the produce we grow, the flavour of which has been perfected over time,” say’s General Manager, Olivia Richli
