A Guide to the Town
The Park (often called The Park Estate or Park Estate Nottingham) is one of Nottingham’s most desirable residential locations: a 150-acre, gated-feel Victorian estate just west of the city centre.
Created in the mid-19th century by the well-regarded architect at the time – Thomas Chambers Hine for the Dukes of Newcastle, it’s well known for sweeping crescents, listed façades and a sense of history that’s rare this close to the centre.
Resident’s of The Park enjoy private green verges, gas street-lighting in places, and a strong neighbourhood feel while still being only a short walk from Nottingham’s shops, restaurants & pubs, tram and rail links.



Properties here tend to be grand Victorian villas and terraces, elegant townhouses as well as a number of tastefully converted flats.
Many homes retain original ornate period details such as high ceilings, bay windows and decorative brickwork. Many have been extended or split into apartments, giving buyers options from one-bed conversion flats to large family houses. For buyers and landlords there’s an active market here, with property in The Park regularly coming on the market.

Derby Road and nearby Castle Marina provide easy everyday shopping (grocers, convenience stores and independent shops), while the shops in the city centre are a short stroll away.
