A Guide to the Town
Spondon is a village of around 12,000 people and forms part of the wider Derby area. Once home to British Celanese, a major employer in the early 20th century, the village has evolved from its industrial roots. Today, it has a mix of older character homes and modern residential developments built on former industrial land.
Spondon is well placed for people who commute to Derby or Nottingham. Just off the A52 – also known as Brian Clough Way – it has easy access to both. The A52 links directly to the M1, with Junction 25 only a short drive away. Rail connections are also convenient, with Derby and East Midlands Parkway stations just minutes from the village. These strong transport links appeal to professionals and families needing reliable ways to get around.
The local property market includes a range of period homes, new-build apartments, and family houses. Our team regularly works with buyers interested in both older streets and newly developed areas. Demand remains steady across different types of homes, and the village appeals to a broad mix of residents. Average property prices remain competitive, making Spondon a strong option for people buying or renting locally.
