Homes in West Bridgford
West Bridgford sits just south of the River Trent and is one of the most sought-after areas in the Nottingham area. Its centre is made up of Edwardian and inter-war semis and terraces, with Lady Bay offering streets of Victorian and Edwardian terraced homes close to the river and Trent Bridge cricket ground.
Further south, Compton Acres and Gamston have estates from the 1970s and 1980s, and Edwalton has seen substantial new-build development in recent years. Most homes are brick built and many have been extended or had loft conversions. The low-lying land near the Trent, particularly around Lady Bay, has a history of flooding, although flood defences were upgraded in the 2010s. The local clay soils and mature trees are another consideration for older properties.
Areas we cover include Lady Bay, Trent Bridge, Compton Acres, Edwalton, Gamston, Abbey Park.
