How Walgrove Road, Chesterfield prices moved
The chart tracks the median Walgrove Road, Chesterfield house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1997 to 2022. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 3 | £34,000 | £75,496 |
| 2000s | 6 | £57,250 | £104,293 |
| 2010s | 4 | £129,975 | £183,265 |
| 2020s | 2 | £170,000 | £173,696 |
The highest yearly median on record for Walgrove Road, Chesterfield is £198,800 in 2022; the lowest is £33,000 in 1997. Across the full 26-year record the cash median has moved from £33,000 to £198,800.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £69,970, so the real change over the whole record is +229.2% — about +4.88% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +53.0% in cash against +18.6% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Walgrove Road, Chesterfield is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 64 | 44.8% | £104,950 | £17,500 – £212,500 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Walgrove Road, Chesterfield
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 143 freehold — 0.0% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 143 | 100.0% | £115,000 |
A further 5 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Chesterfield at £744 a month as of Jun 2026 — £531 for a one-bedroom home and £816 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £115,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 7.76% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of S40, 434 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 172 violent, 16 burglary, 12 vehicle-related and 68 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 2.6 times busier.
Against the 103,569 residents the 2021 census counted in Chesterfield, that is 4.19 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.

Within Chesterfield the street ranks 1307 of 2230 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £119,950 (-4.1%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,623 per square metre, across 39 of the 143 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.

Walgrove Road, Chesterfield sits in Chesterfield, in the East Midlands.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Chesterfield at 5.2 times median local earnings of £37,319 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Walgrove Road, Chesterfield?

How many homes have sold in Walgrove Road, Chesterfield?

When were Walgrove Road, Chesterfield house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £198,800, set in 2022. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in Walgrove Road, Chesterfield?
£1,623 per square metre, from the 39 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 12 Jun 2025. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
