Staveley is a town in its own right, older than most of Chesterfield's suburbs. It grew with the ironworks and the pits, and today it's where a lot of the area's new homes are being built, which makes it one of the liveliest markets in the borough.
The place
Staveley Hall, the 17th-century manor house by the church, is now home to the town council. The Chesterfield Canal comes through the town, and the restored basin has brought the towpath back to life.
The town centre has its own shops and pubs, and the estates spread out around it on every side.
The homes
Two very different markets side by side. Older terraces and semis around the town have sold for some of the lowest prices in the borough, on streets like Midland Terrace and Middlecroft Road.
Then there are the new estates. Cranleigh Road, Aspire Way, Swan Street and Curlew Street are among the busiest streets in the whole area, and Monarch Close, Lily Lane and Imperial Lane are where the biggest new homes have sold, for £400,000 and more.
Worth knowing
Netherthorpe School is the town's secondary. The M1 at junction 30 is about ten minutes away. The Rother and the Doe Lea both have Environment Agency flood warning areas near the town, so check flood risk on the lower streets. Buying new? Read our guide to new homes first.
