Oakhurst to Launch Premium Flexible Workspace on Derby’s Ashbourne Road

A new premium flexible workspace, Oakhurst, is scheduled to open on Ashbourne Road in Derby at the end of May, targeting modern professionals and expanding businesses.

Oakhurst will introduce a fresh approach to high-end workspaces in Derby, featuring private offices, hot desks, and flexible membership options within a tranquil, hospitality-driven setting. The space is designed to cater to entrepreneurs, creatives, and established professional firms.

Situated above the Sugar Loaf cafe, which is set to open later this summer, Oakhurst is part of a broader destination that integrates workspaces with independent cafe culture, fostering a connected environment focused on work, hospitality, and community.

The workspace’s name, Oakhurst, draws inspiration from the building’s late Victorian heritage, reflecting the era’s tradition of naming suburban professional villas. This choice emphasises values such as permanence, quality, and understated confidence.

Responding to evolving work demands, Oakhurst will provide private serviced offices, flexible memberships, hot desks, meeting and collaboration areas, high-speed internet, on-site cafe amenities, and parking for both members and visitors. The interiors are designed with an emphasis on comfort and wellbeing.

The concept takes cues from emerging premium work environments in cities like London and Copenhagen, where hospitality, flexibility, and design are central to the workplace experience.

Unlike conventional serviced offices, Oakhurst aims to offer a timeless and thoughtfully curated environment prioritising professionalism, longevity, and community. It is intended to appeal to freelancers, startups, consultants, and established businesses seeking a premium base in Derby.

A spokesperson for Oakhurst stated: “We wanted to create a workspace that feels calm, considered and genuinely enjoyable to spend time in. Too many serviced offices still feel transactional and corporate. Oakhurst has been designed around quality, hospitality and creating an environment where people can do their best work.”

Located on Ashbourne Road, the development is expected to attract businesses looking for a design-led, hospitality-focused alternative to traditional office spaces, supported by the forthcoming independent cafe below.

Details on membership and viewing appointments will be released prior to the launch. Interested parties can follow @oakhurst.works on Instagram or visit https://www.oakhurst.works/ for the latest updates.
