Cutthorpe and Old Brampton feel properly rural: stone, fields and big skies, with the Linacre reservoirs in the woods between them. Yet Chesterfield town centre is only about ten minutes away.

The place

Old Brampton gathers around its stone church of St Peter and St Paul. Cutthorpe is a little larger, with its own pub, the Three Merry Lads, and a primary school. Fields and farmland run west towards Brampton East Moor.

The homes

Mostly detached homes and stone cottages, with a few semis and terraces. The typical detached home sells for about £635,000. Main Road in Cutthorpe sees more sales than anywhere else.

The market

Only around 8 homes sell here a year, so the typical price swings a long way from one year to the next. Look at the house and the plot rather than the average, and expect to wait for the right one.

Worth knowing

Both villages are in North East Derbyshire and outside the National Park, so planning goes through North East Derbyshire District Council. Most people here drive: you'll want a car.
