Holly House opened in February 2015 and provides a caring, comfortable and supporting environment for up to 5 young people (EBD). The home is situated on a main road that leads into Chesterfield town centre (approximately 1 mile away), which is a short walk away. Alternatively it also has good transport links via bus. Chesterfield, although a town, has a lot to offer for example cinema, skatepark, bowling alley, leisure centres and parks etc… and if you wish to venture further afield we are approximately 30 minutes away from Sheffield (Meadowhall & Crystal Peaks) and Nottingham, via car.
