Stephenson Grange, Holmewood Chesterfield

Living in Holmewood means you have a wealth of opportunities for work, rest and play on your doorstep. Chesterfield, with its famous crooked church spire, was home to George Stephenson, the famous Victorian engineer known as the 'Father of the Railways' and after whom this development is named.

These days Chesterfield is a thriving market town and a destination in its own right, with a selection of speciality markets (including its famous open-air market), independent shops, street festivals, parks and, of course, the Chesterfield to Staveley canal. 

A little further afield and you can have a great day out at Chatsworth House, home to the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire. To the east of Holmewood, just over the M1 you can lose yourself in the Sherwood Forest Country Park of Robin Hood fame; meander around the medieval Hardwick Hall; or do a spot of wine tasting at Renishaw Hall vineyard. 

If the city lights beckon, Holmewood is equidistant from both Sheffield to the north and Nottingham to the south. And for those in search of adventure, the Peak District National Park can cater for all outdoor leisure pursuits from walking to climbing and from paragliding to horse riding.
