High Street, Old Whittington, Chesterfield, Derbyshire, S41

Overview

This charming property has a diverse history ranging from a small holding for pigs, a chip shop and, notably, standing as the last telephone exchange in the area. Traces of the property's history can be seen throughout, particularly in the garden where remains of the small holding can be seen, together with a working well. The well has a false top on, but is still useable when primed with a pump. The property is situated close to a good primary and secondary school, doctors surgery, chemist and post office. In addition, popular local take-aways and a Tesco Express are all located within a 10 minute walk. The property is situated within a conservation area, but is not listed, however this does mean it offers an excellent choice of countryside walks and the historic 'Revolution House' all within a short distance. The property is an excellent choice for commuters too with access to major road networks and regular bus services into Chesterfield, Sheffield and the surrounding (truncated)
