Homes in Bingham
Bingham is a market town in the Vale of Belvoir that has grown substantially as a commuter town for Nottingham. Its older core around the market place has Georgian and Victorian buildings, while most of the town consists of estates built from the 1960s onwards. Bingham's railway station connects it to Nottingham and Grantham.
Recent years have brought large new-build developments on the northern side of the town. Radcliffe on Trent and East Bridgford nearby are popular villages with a mix of older cottages and modern homes, while Cotgrave is a former mining village. The Vale of Belvoir has heavy clay soils, which can cause subsidence where trees are close to buildings. Many of the 1960s and 1970s homes now need updates to roofs, windows and heating. The town has good schools, which drive strong demand.
Areas we cover include Radcliffe on Trent, Cotgrave, Aslockton, Whatton, East Bridgford.
