Life in Nottinghamshire village where it's 'impossible' to buy houses due to demand

People living and working in one of the most 'picturesque' villages in Nottinghamshire have said it is impossible to buy a house there, and could not speak more highly of where they live.

The website states it's rated so highly because of its charm, Victorian waterworks (Papplewick Pumping Station), Papplewick Hall and its array of flowers through the village. And locals say because it is so lovely there, it's impossible to move into the village.
