Stonegravels
Stonegravels sits within a cluster of Chesterfield neighbourhoods that share a strong sense of affordability and community feel. House prices stay accessible throughout, with terraces typically in the £130,000s and semi-detached homes ranging from around £189,500 to £194,000, though Spire pushes the upper end with detached homes reaching £309,000. Living costs consistently run below the UK average, particularly for groceries and transport, making this a budget-friendly part of Derbyshire regardless of which neighbourhood you land in.
Schools are a clear strength across the whole area, with Good-rated primaries cropping up in Brimington North, Brimington South, Brockwell, Dunston and Whittington, while Spire adds a private primary option and Dunston benefits from an outstanding secondary nearby. Crime rates tell a similarly positive story: every neighbourhood sits below the national average, with several showing sharp year-on-year falls. Air quality is good throughout, and most areas offer at least one local park, giving families plenty of outdoor space close to home.
Transport is where the neighbourhoods diverge. Spire stands out with its own train and bus station, strong healthcare access and a lively restaurant and retail scene, making it the most self-contained option. Whittington Moor also does well for amenities, with 15 restaurants, 9 pubs, a hospital and good bus links along the A61. The remaining neighbourhoods, including Brimington North, Brockwell, Dunston and Whittington, lean more car-dependent, with everyday essentials like supermarkets and GP surgeries often just outside the boundary rather than on the doorstep. Whichever neighbourhood you choose, you're getting a settled, family-friendly setting with solid schools, falling crime and good value for money, with the main trade-off being how much you want transport and amenities right on your doorstep versus a short drive away.
