Sutton Spring Wood is a rural hamlet, located in a woodland setting, situated between Calow and Arkwright. Consisting of a collection of homes – many of which are substantial detached properties and bungalows sitting on expansive plots – the hamlet offers an unparalleled sense of privacy and “back-to-nature” isolation. Because there are no commercial shops, pubs, or churches within the wood itself, the hamlet has retained a pristine, untouched character where quiet country lanes wind beneath a canopy of established trees. It offers a rare lifestyle opportunity for buyers seeking a peaceful sanctuary, complete with the sights and sounds of local wildlife right on the doorstep, yet within easy access to Chesterfield, Bolsover, and the M1 motorway.
