Welcome To Millthorpe - Tucked away in the rolling Derbyshire countryside, Millthorpe is a charming hamlet on the edge of Barlow, offering a peaceful rural lifestyle within easy reach of nearby towns and amenities.

Characterised by its scattered stone cottages, historic farmhouses and impressive detached homes, Millthorpe is a place where period character meets countryside living. Many properties here enjoy generous plots and far-reaching views across the beautiful Cordwell Valley, with the Peak District Boundary Walk running right through the hamlet – perfect for those who enjoy an active, outdoor lifestyle.

Despite its tranquil setting, Millthorpe is well connected. The nearby village of Barlow provides excellent local pubs, a village hall and community facilities, while Dronfield, Chesterfield and Sheffield are all within a short drive, offering shops, schools, transport links and wider amenities. The nearest rail station at Dronfield provides direct services to Sheffield, Chesterfield and beyond.

Millthorpe is highly sought-after for its blend of serenity and accessibility. Homes here rarely come to market, and with its strong community feel, low crime levels and excellent access to open countryside, it’s easy to see why. For those seeking a characterful home in a truly special location, Millthorpe represents Derbyshire at its very best.

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.
