Daybrook is a well-established residential area situated between Arnold and Sherwood, offering a blend of historic character, local amenities, and convenient city access. Originally developed during Nottingham’s industrial expansion in the late 19th century, Daybrook retains much of its period charm with a mix of Victorian and early 20th-century homes.
A neighbourhood with character
Daybrook centres around Mansfield Road, where you’ll find local shops, cafés, and services catering to everyday needs. The area is known for its sense of community, with a balance between long-time residents and younger families attracted by its location and range of property styles. The historic Home Brewery building, with its distinctive clock tower, remains a local landmark and a reminder of the area’s industrial heritage.
Green spaces and recreation
Residents enjoy access to several nearby green spaces. Arnot Hill Park, just a short walk away, offers ornamental gardens, a lake, and children’s play areas, while the park’s regular community events add to the area’s lively atmosphere. Smaller green pockets and tree-lined streets make Daybrook a pleasant and leafy suburb to live in.
Education and family-friendly living
Daybrook is served by several well-regarded schools, including Arnbrook Primary and Nursery School and nearby Redhill Academy for secondary education. The range of property options, from traditional terraces to more modern family homes, makes the area ideal for growing families and first-time buyers alike.
Transport and commuting
Excellent transport links make commuting easy. Mansfield Road provides direct access to Nottingham city centre, and regular bus services run throughout the day. The proximity to major routes such as the A60 and A611 also makes travel to surrounding areas convenient for professionals.
Community and leisure
Daybrook benefits from local pubs, fitness centres, and community activities that bring residents together. The area’s proximity to Arnold’s shops and restaurants gives residents access to wider amenities while maintaining a quieter, suburban atmosphere.
