Charming Victorian hotel in Dronfield available

Situated in the desirable town of Dronfield within the Peak District, the property is surrounded by numerous tourist attractions including Chatsworth House, the Heights of Abraham, Poole’s Cavern and the Monsal Trail, making it an ideal base for visitors.

Chantry Hotel comprises seven en suite letting rooms, an entrance hall and porch, a large dining room, a relaxing bar and lounge area as well as owner’s accommodation. Outside the property, there is a generous car park as well as previously award-winning gardens.

Currently closed, the business previously operated as a busy hotel and restaurant offering holiday stays, Sunday lunches and functions. The building itself is a traditional Victorian double bay fronted property that has been extended and well maintained by the current owner.

Michael Elrick inherited the business three years ago after his partner passed away, who had owned the hotel since 1967, but has decided to sell the property in order to focus on retirement.

Michael said, “After many years running the hotel, and following the death of my partner in 2023, I made the decision to retire due to ill health and not being able to give such a large property the care it deserves.”

Matt Hill, Senior Business Agent – Hotels at Christie & Co, who is managing the sale process, commented, “The Chantry Hotel is steeped in history and character and is set in tranquil location but in the heart of Dronfield. Subject to planning permission the property offers the opportunity for a variety of different uses or to be continued to be used in a hospitality capacity. Internal inspection is highly recommended to appreciate the opportunity available”

Chantry Hotel is on the market freehold with an asking price of £1,100,000.
