A perfect blend of town, city and country 

Monument View is just a five-minute drive from Hucknall town centre, so all the essential shops and services are close by. These include supermarkets, banks, pharmacies, a post office, library, leisure centre, and much more. There is also a great selection of independent stores, high street favourites and a local market, along with a number of homeware and fashion outlets at nearby Giltbrook Shopping Park. For indoor leisure, the local art-deco cinema shows all the latest blockbusters, while the Kangaroo Trampoline Park provides the perfect place for the kids to let off steam. However, if you prefer to be out in the fresh air, there are also plenty of local options for you. 

Titchfield Park is within walking distance and offers a fantastic area of open space. Here you’ll find everything from sports pitches and playgrounds to wildflower meadows and a bee garden. There is a café available that offers a variety of refreshments. Alternatively, the beautiful Mill Lakes plays home to countless species of wildlife and also forms part of the wider Bestwood Country Park, where you can find a network of woodland walks. Nearby Bulwell Hall Park provides even more opportunity to get out in the fresh air, and golfers are spoilt for choice with the adjacent Bulwell Hall Golf Course, plus the Leen Valley Golf Course a short drive north.

Education and entertainment

When it comes to education, there is a day nursery a short drive away, a primary school within walking distance, a choice of secondary schools within a 10-minute drive, and Hucknall Sixth Form Centre located in the town centre. Higher education can be found at Nottingham Trent University, which is in Nottingham city centre, 25 minutes away by road or a short ride from nearby Butler’s Hill tram stop. Here, you can also find a wealth of shopping, entertainment and leisure activities, so you’ll never be short of things to do. 

For travelling further afield, the nearby M1 goes all the way from Leeds to London, and Hucknall railway station offers regular direct services to Mansfield and Nottingham. East Midlands Airport can also be reached in as little as half an hour by road and operates flights to a wide range of European destinations.
