Property Description
The Cock & Magpie, located in the historic village of Old Whittington, is a pub rich in history and tradition. Situated just two miles north of Chesterfield and 10 miles east of Sheffield, it benefits from its close proximity to these larger towns while retaining the charm of a smaller, close-knit community. The village, with its population of around 4,181, is nestled along the river Rother and has a deep historical connection, notably mentioned in the Domesday Book. The pub’s location beside Revolution House, a small stone cottage turned historic museum, adds to its unique appeal. The Revolution House, with its exhibitions of local interest, likely draws visitors who are keen to explore the area’s rich past. The Cock & Magpie itself has an intriguing history, having been founded in 1790 when it was converted from a former hostelry known as the 'Cock & Pynot'. This connection to the past gives the pub a distinctive character, linking it to centuries of local tradition. Old Whittington’s excellent transport links, especially via the A61, make the Cock & Magpie easily accessible to both locals and visitors traveling from Chesterfield and Sheffield.
