Homes in Carlton
Carlton is a suburb east of Nottingham that includes Gedling, Netherfield and Colwick. Netherfield grew as a railway town in the Victorian era and is full of red-brick terraces, while Carlton and Gedling have Edwardian and inter-war homes along with large post-war private estates. Carlton Hill and the main roads have shops with flats above.
Gedling Colliery closed in 1991 and its site has become a country park, with new housing nearby. Colwick sits close to the River Trent and has a racecourse and country park. Much of the area is hilly, with homes built on slopes, and the low-lying parts near the Trent at Netherfield and Colwick are in the flood plain. Many of the post-war semis and bungalows have been extended, and some have been modernised with mixed results. Gedling Country Park offers green space close to housing, and the area is popular with families priced out of West Bridgford.
Areas we cover include Gedling, Netherfield, Colwick, Westdale Lane, Porchester.
