Professional Letting Area Guides

Beeston

Beeston is one of Nottingham’s most popular suburbs, 3 miles to the West of the city centre. It has a well-established rental market with a wide spread of different types of housing stock ranging from Victorian houses through to 21st century landmark apartment developments such as Anglo Scotian Mills and The Manor.

The town centre has a diverse shopping offer with national retailers such as WH Smith and Argos mixed with popular independent retailers such as Fred Hallam Ltd. Greengrocers/Fishmongers and Cameron House as well as a range of well-liked cafes and a thriving real ale pub scene including the multi-award-winning The Crown. Part of Beeston’s popularity stems from the ability of its residents to access services such as banks, dry cleaning and hairdressing whilst being a short distance from what Nottingham city centre has to offer.

There are several large employers in and around the town such as the Boots Headquarters, Nottingham University and the Queen’s Medical Centre and this contributes towards a relatively high turnover of available rental property.

Beeston is well served by public transport links. The recently completed extension of Nottingham’s tram networks serves the town at a number of stops and offers direct service to the QMC, NG2 Business Park and Nottingham city centre. The mainline train station offers direct trains to London St. Pancras and there is an extensive local bus network.

The shopping offer, whilst not featuring a stereotypical town centre, is varied with a number of larger stores such as TK Maxx and Halfords and there is a large Tesco Extra store on Swiney Way. There are a number of popular places to eat and drink such as Haveli Indian restaurant and The Cornmill and Cadland pubs.
