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. According to hotels.com, a website for booking hotels online and over the phone, Papplewick is among the best looking villages in the county.
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.
Looking on online estate agent sights Rightmove and Zoopla confirms this, as there is just one property up for sale in Papplewick at the time of writing, on Moor Lane coming into the village. One of the pub managers at Griffins Head on Moor Road explains why she thinks this is the case.
