Laurel Wolds
Situated a few miles to the east of Nottingham and within easy reach of the city’s attractions and amenities, the village of Cotgrave has a rural ambience that provides a refreshing and relaxing contrast to the pace of city life. With excellent local services nearby and just yards from open countryside, this superb new development presents an opportunity to put down roots in a mature community.
Outdoor activities
On the northern edge of the town Cotgrave Country Park, which includes a stretch of the Grantham Canal, offers pleasant walks and riding trails and there is a second country park with play areas and picnic sites five miles away at Rushcliffe. The nearby National Watersports Centre at Holme Pierrepont includes a regatta lake, a white water canoe course, a water skiing lagoon, and facilities for rowing, windsurfing and power boating.
Sport and leisure
Cotgrave Leisure Centre, a few minutes walk from the development, includes a 25m swimming pool with a flume, a sports hall, an aerobics studio and an air-conditioned fitness suite with cardiovascular, resistance and free weights equipment. And around a mile away, Cotgrave Place Golf Club offers a choice of courses set in picturesque countryside with impressive water features and superb ancillary amenities.
Entertainment
The local pub, the Rose and Crown, is just a few minutes away and offers an excellent selection of food. For days and evenings out, the short trip into Nottingham opens up a wide choice of entertainment including the Broadway Cinema, an independent cinema with an international reputation, and the University of Nottingham’s lively Lakeside Arts Centre where the programme of live music, drama, dance and comedy includes major touring shows.
Shopping
There is a butcher, a newsagent and a post office near the development and more than a dozen shops in The Precinct in the town centre, including a Co-op, take-aways and a chemist. There is also a small Sainsbury's supermarket a little over quarter of a mile away. A wider choice of shops, including most high street names, can be found in Nottingham.

Train services run from Radcliffe Station to Nottingham, where there is a direct service into London Kings Cross. There are good local bus services including a fast link from Cotgrave to Nottingham’s Broadmarsh Station. East Midlands Airport is around half an hour’s drive away.
