Chestnut Grove offered the reassurance of an energy-efficient new build, without losing charm and individuality.
Chestnut Grove was a thoughtfully crafted development, delivering a range of 3 and 4 bedroom houses alongside 3 bedroom bungalows.
Designed with a strong sense of character throughout, the homes offered a traditional warmth while still embracing the benefits of modern construction. Energy efficiency was central to the way these homes were built, helping to create spaces that were future-focused.
As with every Stancliffe development, individuality mattered and each home was designed to feel like its own place. We take pride in the craft of building, because the right materials and attention to detail make all the difference, especially when homes are designed around real lives and everyday routines.
The village charm of
Shireoaks.
Chestnut Grove was set within the village of Shireoaks, on the outskirts of Worksop and positioned on the border of South Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire.
For many residents, the appeal of the location came from how naturally it balanced lifestyle and practicality. It offered something that was not always easy to find – a place that felt connected to its surroundings, while still working for everyday life.
Shireoaks has long drawn buyers looking for a more peaceful way of living, shaped by its canal-side setting, open countryside and strong sense of community. The Chesterfield Canal and marina sat at the heart of the village, bringing waterside walks, wildlife and a slower, more relaxed daily rhythm. At the same time, being close to Worksop, with direct rail links to Sheffield and straightforward road connections via the A57, A1 and M1, meant that work, amenities and travel all remained within easy reach. It was this balance of calm, connectivity and character that made Shireoaks such a well-regarded place to live.

Shireoaks offered the ease of village living with everyday essentials close at hand. The village included a convenience store and post office, a village hall, St Luke’s Church and local places to eat such as The Station Hotel, creating a setting that supported day-to-day life without needing to travel far.
The nearby Chesterfield Canal and Shireoaks Marina also played a part in everyday living, with waterside walks and open space just moments from home. For a wider choice, nearby Worksop provided access to supermarkets, shops, services and leisure facilities, all within a short drive.
For families, St Luke’s CE Primary School is based in Shireoaks itself and provides primary education close to home. For secondary education, nearby Worksop offers further options within easy reach, giving families a practical choice of schools in the surrounding area.
Shireoaks was particularly well placed for travel. The village railway station provided direct connections along the Sheffield–Gainsborough–Lincoln line, supporting both commuting and leisure journeys. Worksop was just a short drive away, and road links via the A57, along with access to the A1 and M1, made it straightforward to reach Sheffield and the wider region. Walking and cycling routes, including the Cuckoo Way along the canal, further connected the village to its surroundings while supporting a more active, outdoor lifestyle.
