Discover Haggnook Wood, A Hidden Retreat…

“As you enter Ravenshead from the prestigious Kirkby Road approach, you’ll find a discreet private road among the trees that runs down to the property in an enviably semi-rural setting. I love this home because it’s a masterpiece of design. It’s an entertainer’s dream, and it effortlessly connects the interior to the breath-taking outdoors. What’s more is its unbeatable location. Steeped in the history of Newstead Abbey and Sherwood Forest, the village is surrounded by countryside filled with ancient woodlands and lush, verdant fields. Make your way into the village centre, and you’ll find a parade of shops, including a Nisa convenience store, grocers, a deli/butcher, and a post office. Essential facilities include the doctor's surgery, dentist, chemist, hairdresser, and a leisure centre. There is a petrol station and a Sainsbury's Local to top up your shopping, and there is also a farm shop for a taste of country life. There’s a wide range of lovely pubs and places to eat in or take away from, and there is a rich sense of community with the village hall, library, and church. For families, there are two primary schools in Ravenshead, plus there are catchment secondary schools close by. Mansfield and Nottingham are easy to reach for extra facilities, and travel links are also quick, with J27 of the M1 nearby.”- Nick Lawton, eXp
