Prime mixed-use investment opportunity, ideally situated on Sheffield Road in a popular mixed-use area directly opposite SMH Group Stadium, home to Chesterfield Football Club.

The Glass Yard and The Batch House are an enduring testimony to the site’s historical significance, and a gesture to the part that Chesterfield played in the British Glass Industry. Dema Glass stood directly opposite the property, which it its heyday employed over 3,000 people and was the country’s largest manufacturer of domestic glassware. GTC was also located close by, having once been the country’s largest manufacturer of vitreous lamp caps and glass tubes. The site and its connection with glass can be traced back even further. In 1710 Richard Dixon, born in Stourbridge, famous as the town where crystal glass was first produced, was inspired to build a glasshouse in Whittington. Here he made some of the earliest cut crystal glass, for the Dukes of Devonshire and the Master Cutlers of Sheffield, amongst others. Although these industries have since died out, the legacy remains and features heavily through the property’s design and construction. The property comprises a new development consisting of a mix of office and retail space, plus an artisan food and drink hall – The Batch House. The property totals 33 units over two storeys and arranged in a U shape around a central car park, with a detached, two storey retail unit fronting Sheffield Road.
