The S40 postcode of Chesterfield has long been favoured by buyers, for its wealth of independent shops, restaurants, cafes and schools all within walking distance.
The postcode has a multitude of schools, with the most popular progression of Westfield, Old Hall and Brookfield all being within safe walking distance but the demographic isn’t just defined by families. The area sees a mix of home styles, ranging from apartments and terrace properties around the £100k mark to some of the most expensive homes in the county, with a recent sale seeing in excess of £2,000,000, so it’s great for first time buyers and higher net worth buyers alike.
For the less family focussed buyer Chatsworth Road houses a lovely selection of cafes, with Libby’s and Koo being exceptionally popular with the locals. There is an eclectic mix of dining establishments ranging from French bistro Maison Mes Amis, Italian restaurant Nonnas to the recently opened gastro pub The Bradbury and BBQ restaurant Gingerz.
That said, driving or walking up Chatsworth Road, the buzz from this cosmopolitan suburb is quite evident, but one of the biggest draws to the area isn’t quite so apparent on the surface. The situation of S40 is one of the closest Chesterfield postcodes to the Peak National Park, but much closer than that is an abundance of beautiful countryside, pretty much a stones throw from most homes in the area. It makes the area fantastic for walking and exploring the beautiful scenery on offer and is incredibly popular for dog walkers. Head down Somersall Lane and you can hop over the fields to Holymoorside, nip through the brook behind Brookside Glen and Westbrook Drive and into Brookfield Fields and you can walk across some beautiful fields and woodland straight into Linacre.
