Ashover market report S45, Chesterfield
The S45 (Ashover) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Underneath every chart here sit 6,590 registered sales in S45 (Chesterfield) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to July 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 67 registered 2026 sales put the S45 (Chesterfield) median at £207,000, down 2% on five years earlier, with a mean of £246,100, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,440 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 6,590 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
S45 is the postcode district covering Ashover, Astwith, Clay Cross in Chesterfield. Districts are a practical way to slice a market: small enough to mean something locally, big enough to have a steady flow of sales to measure.

In cash terms the typical S45 home went from £35,000 in 1995 to £207,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 172%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 23% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the S45 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+33.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2012 (−14.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −4.1% | −6.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.5% | −5.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.2% | +1.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 35% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £310,000 against £97,500 for a flat, 3.2 times the price.

How many homes change hands in S45
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
S45 recorded 146 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 221 sales a year recently, against 262 a year before 2008. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What tenants pay around S45
S45 falls under North East Derbyshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £774 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £556 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,184, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, North East Derbyshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £207,000 median sold price, £774 a month is £9,288 a year, a gross yield of 4.5%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
How S45 trades
This is a thin market: 146 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is roughly flat over five years in cash but down 23% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

Bedroom by bedroom: S prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the S area, straight from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £235,000 | £330,000 (+40%) | £495,000 (+50%) | £750,000 (+52%) |
| Semi-detached | £160,000 | £175,000 (+9%) | £220,000 (+26%) | £321,000 (+46%) | £550,000 (+71%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
