The Ballroom, Woodmere Drive, Old Whittington, Chesterfield, S41 9TA

£375,000 - £385,000 (Guide price) Welcome to a home that is truly unique, beautifully stylish and incredibly flexible; welcome to The Ballroom, a timeless piece of Chesterfield's local history, tastefully but eclectically modernised to retain the property's original features whilst showcasing its story with retro interior design throughout.

The Ballroom forms part of Brearley Hall, a Grade II listed Georgian manor house standing in 12 acres of mature woodland. Built in the 1830's by Henry Dixon, whose family were renowned for their iron stone industry and glass works in Whittington, this former gentleman's residence has had a colourful history and many prominent owners. In an elevated position, with views across a beautiful lake, Brearley Hall is close to the peak district and yet only 2.5 miles from the old market town of Chesterfield. The hall is one of the most exciting residential developments in the area.

This impressive mansion house now gives way to a delightful collection of apartments and versatile multi-level mews houses in what must be the most attractive of settings.

Offering 1980 sqft of accommodation over 2 storeys, the property features a grand central reception room with stunning bay-window and original ceiling rose, a modern kitchen with granite worktops and separate utility room, a separate reception room which is ideal for a work-from-home space, a ground floor WC, 3 generously sized bedrooms including beds 1 and 2 overlooking the central ballroom, 2 recently updated bathrooms including the master en-suite.

Externally the property benefits from a low maintenance garden area to the front and driveway for multiple vehicles.

Dales & Peaks Forwardmove Please Read - Dales & Peaks is marketing this Property with the benefit of ForwardMove. Dales & Peaks has introduced ForwardMove to help speed up the sales process, minimise sale fall-throughs and give more certainty to both the Seller and the Buyer.

Purchasers will benefit from the Buyer Information Pack (BIP), which we have created with our legal partners, to give buyers more information before they agree to purchase.

The pack includes:

Property information form (TA6)
Fixtures and contents form (TA10)
Official Copy of the Register (OC1)
Title Plan (OC2)
Local Search*
Water and Drainage Search*
Coal and Mining Search*
Homescreen / Environmental Search*

(Dales & Peaks has ordered the local, drainage, coal and homescreen / environmental searches; we will add these to the BIP as they become available)


ForwardMove allows the sale process to be completed significantly quicker than a ‘normal sale’. This is because the legal work, usually done in the first four to eight weeks after the sale is agreed, has already been completed. The searches, which can take up to five weeks, are ordered on the day the listing goes live and are transferable to the successful Buyer as part of their legal due diligence.

Additionally, and on behalf of the Seller, Dales & Peaks requests that the successful Buyer enters into a Reservation Agreement and pays the Reservation Agreement Fee of £595 (including VAT). This includes payment for the Buyer Information Pack and all the searches (which a buyer typically purchases separately after the sale is agreed).

Upon receipt of the signed Reservation Agreement, payment of the Reservation Agreement Fee, completion of ID and AML checks and the issuing of the Memorandum of Sale, the Seller will agree to take the Property off the market and market it as Sold Subject To Contract (SSTC).

During the Reservation Agreement period, the Seller will reject all offers and not enter into another agreement with any other buyer. The reservation period is agreed upon at the time of sale but is usually between 60 and 120 days.

The Reservation Fee is non-refundable except where the Seller withdraws from the sale. A copy of the Reservation Agreement is available on request, and Dales & Peaks advises potential buyers to seek legal advice before entering into the Reservation Agreement.

If you have any questions about the process or want to know how selling or buying with Dales & Peaks ForwardMove could benefit you, please speak to a member of the Dales & Peaks team.
