Woodthorpe is a quiet, leafy, and highly desirable suburb that offers a perfect blend of peaceful residential living and fantastic green spaces. Tucked between Mapperley and Arnold, it is widely regarded as one of Nottingham’s prime locations, ideal for families and professionals seeking a tranquil home.
The best of both worlds
While Woodthorpe itself is prized for its peaceful, residential character, its main advantage is its location. Residents enjoy a quiet, suburban feel while being just a few minutes away from the bustling amenities of Mapperley Top, with its independent cafés and restaurants, and Arnold town centre, with its high-street shops and supermarkets.
Home to a magnificent park
The standout feature of Woodthorpe is the impressive Woodthorpe Grange Park. This large, beautiful green space is a huge asset, home to a 19th-century Grade II listed manor house, formal gardens, a tropical house, and a pitch-and-putt golf course. With a café and play areas, it’s a cherished hub for leisure and relaxation.
Excellent location and connections
The suburb’s location provides superb transport links. It is situated just off Woodborough Road and Mansfield Road (A60), two of the main arterial routes into Nottingham, making the city centre just a short drive away. The area is also served by a number of frequent and reliable bus services.
Desirable family homes
Woodthorpe is characterised by its attractive, tree-lined streets and substantial 1930s to 1950s detached and semi-detached family homes. These properties typically sit on generous plots with large gardens, making the area incredibly popular with growing families. It also falls within the catchment for a number of well-regarded schools.
