Homes by honey - Amber

Your new home will be close to open countryside, yet it is only a short walk to the popular village shops, and a few miles from Mansfield and neighbouring cities Derby and Nottingham.

Green fields to the left and amenities to the right. This is South Normanton, where you can wander through the picturesque Derbyshire countryside one minute, and then browse through designer shops at East Midlands Designer Outlet the next. You also have big names like Aldi, Tesco and Co-op, smaller independent shops, pubs & restaurants and a GP surgery close by. There are several schools nearby, and plenty to keep everyone entertained and places to burn off energy, from playing fields to the Progression gym.

This part of the world is fantastic, but there will be times when you’ll want to head a bit further out. Mansfield is just 8 miles away, giving you easy access to even more shops, pubs, restaurants, and other attractions like the art gallery, museum and theatre. If you want an adrenalin rush, Alton Towers is around 38 miles away, while Gulliver’s Valley Theme Park is even closer – just 22 miles away. For something more serene, escape to the beautiful Peak District National Park – you can be there in about 45 minutes by car.
