Bestwood Village is a unique and historic conservation area nestled on the northern fringes of Nottingham. Steeped in heritage and surrounded by woodland, it offers a truly rural and picturesque living experience while being remarkably close to the city, providing the best of both worlds.
A historic and tranquil setting
The character of Bestwood Village is defined by its past. The stunning Bestwood Lodge Hotel, a former royal hunting lodge, stands as a centrepiece, while the surrounding cottages and houses contribute to its conserved, heritage feel. This creates a peaceful, secluded atmosphere that feels a world away from the city, just minutes from its doorstep.
On the doorstep of country parkland
Residents enjoy unparalleled access to the great outdoors. The village is enveloped by the sprawling Bestwood Country Park, a designated SSSI, offering miles of walking trails, rich wildlife, and historic landmarks like the iconic Winding Engine House. This immediate connection to nature is the primary appeal for many who live here.
Conveniently connected
Despite its rural feel, Bestwood Village is not isolated. It is situated just off the A60, providing a straightforward route to the city centre and the M1 motorway. For daily essentials, a well-stocked local shop serves the community, with larger supermarkets and the amenities of neighbouring Sherwood and Arnold only a short drive away.
Characterful and individual homes
Housing in Bestwood Village is distinct and full of character. The properties are a mix of original Victorian and Edwardian cottages, many of which are listed, alongside more unique individual homes. This results in a property market that is less uniform than neighbouring estates, appealing to those seeking a home with a story and a truly special setting.
