Homes in Sutton-in-Ashfield
Sutton-in-Ashfield grew on coal and hosiery, and its housing reflects that history. Victorian and Edwardian red-brick terraces surround the town centre and the villages of Huthwaite and Stanton Hill, while Teversal retains older stone cottages and a manor house. Many of these terraces were built quickly and cheaply, so their condition varies a lot.
The twentieth century brought large council estates and private developments, and more recent new-build estates have been built on former colliery sites and green fields around the edges of town. The area sits on the coalfield, and the closure of the pits left a legacy of reclaimed land that has been turned into country parks and housing. Coal mining searches and careful condition checks on older homes are standard here. Kings Mill Reservoir and the hospital are significant local landmarks, and housing near them is popular with healthcare workers.
Areas we cover include Huthwaite, Skegby, Stanton Hill, Teversal, Sutton Forest Side.
