Big To-do in Nottingham

Looking out of the window onto the lavish courtyard, you'd feel like you were staying in a secluded palace in the English countryside. Yet this sprawling mansion resides just minutes from the bustling centre of Nottingham. It's a rare desert of tranquility in a vibrant city.

The opulence stretches to a massive 5900 square feet – there is plenty of space even if it's at maximum capacity. Within that 5900 square feet lay many highlights, ranging from the stylish breakfast bar to the premium pool table. However, our personal favourite part of the home rests outside.

A super-cute pergola shelters a cosy table and chairs, offering a moment of serene privacy amongst the various social spots. If you're an early bird or a night owl, it's an idyllic spot to sit with a book and bask in the peaceful nature.

That peaceful nature transcends into a more lively energy once you set foot in Nottingham city centre. Find live music venues strung through the city, intertwining with an eclectic mixture of culinary options and inviting pubs. The most inviting is Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem – the oldest pub in England which is just a two minute walk from the house.
