Realising the design concept to its full potential has called for strict attention to detail, designed to be as stylish as they are practical - something of a Wheeldon hallmark. Each property has been thoughtfully designed to maximise space and create delightful interiors with a variety of contemporary external finishes. The creative use of space, the right materials and the perfect finish, play a vital part in making warm, generous spaces in these light-filled new homes; living rooms that are a pleasure to come home to, kitchens that are both practical to work in and easy on the eye, bedrooms that offer intimate places in which to relax and rest, bathrooms that are quietly luxurious.
This design initiative, combined with a carefully selected mix of building materials and a host of quality features, will ensure our development at The Standings, blends perfectly into the surrounding area and the neighbouring villages, towns and cities.

The area is rich in history and tradition with Wingfield Manor (site of the imprisonment of Mary Queen of Scots in the 1500’s), Midland Railway Centre, Butterley and the famed Derbyshire view point of Crich Stand which is at the summit of Crich Hill, a Memorial Tower for those of the Sherwood Foresters regiment who died in battle, particularly in World War I. Built in 1923 on the site of an older tower called Crich Stand, the Memorial Tower is the destination of an annual pilgrimage on the first Sunday in July. It is 1,000 feet (300 m) above sea level, and has 52 steps to the top. From there eight counties can be seen, including landmarks such as the Humber Bridge and Lincoln Cathedral. The stand overlooks the Crich Tramway Village, home to the National Tramway Museum and well worth a visit with a host of family, fun based activities on offer.
