Property Description

Hurst House is a magnificent mid 1800s Grade II Listed Victorian mansion located on the corner of Abercrombie Street and Sheffield Road, enjoying a large prominent corner plot position extending to 0.41 acres (1,686 sq.m) or thereabouts with stone built walled gardens. Interestingly the site was originally part of the Duke of Devonshire Estate for many centuries. The property was built to a fashionable mock Italian style for clearly a wealthy middle-class man who expected to employ servants. In recent years it was run as an Adult Education Centre for Derbyshire County Council. The property retains many original features including Minton tiled floor covering, deep skirting boards, moulded covings and so forth. The generous sized character accommodation is mostly arranged over two floors with some parts into the roof space and internally has a GIA of 498.5 sq.m (5,365 sq.ft). In our opinion the property has significant scope for a varied range of uses including serviced offices, nursery and residential conversion to apartments subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents. Rarely do freehold properties of this immense character and potential come to the market. The property occupies a popular leafy and established residential location, situated within walking distance of the town centre. The nearby M1 Motorway provides swift access onto the city of Sheffield which lies some 13 miles north of Chesterfield and the city of Derby approximately 25 miles to the south. The sale provides a genuine opportunity for a discerning purchaser looking to acquire a very attractively priced period property, enjoying a highly convenient location in the historic town of Chesterfield, known for the famous Crooked Spire.
