Rosehip Cottage (cottage)

Home description

Please note my cottage is 200 years old and would have once been the gardeners cottage, although sadly no garden. It is therefore full of character but quite SMALL with low doors and oak beamed ceilings. It is one of the original '2 up, 2 downs' from around 1800 and in recent years was modernised and a small toilet/shower room added. There is a terrace in the front to sit out . It has been decorated and furnished in keeping with the period complete with some antique furniture so may not be suitable for small children. You do actually sense a bit of history in the ambiance. The kitchen is just big enough to eat round the table and the living room small but cosy, especially when the log fire is blazing away in the grate. Situated in a little no-thru road literally just off the main centre and market square of Bingham, it is quiet but a great base for easy access to Nottingham. Fine for 4 people (max )if not to tall!!

The cottage sits in a no through road to general traffic literally just off the main centre and market square of Bingham, just a short drive or bus ride away from the legendry Nottingham centre ( Robin Hood, Sherwood Forest etc). On foot the centre of Bingham is just a few minutes walk with all facilities including a library and doctor's surgery. At the top of the road is a Leisure centre with swimming pool. On Thursdays there is a market in the square. Bingham is rurally situated amongst rolling fields and small villages. There is a small front terrace to sit out on which catches the afternoon sun and the cottage overlooks a walled garden as it is end of row.

The Heart of England / Peak District / Nottinghamshire region

Well Robin Hood country of course. The logs for the fireplace come from Nottingham Forest. There are many old villages and pubs all around the area .The castle brings back the decades of history associated with Nottingham and surrounding lace market in Nottingham itself boasts the oldest inn in England. Modern Nottingham is thronging with nightlife and restaurants with some of the biggest national companies based there and two large universities. There are many outlying natural areas of beauty and protected bird life.

The great city of Nottingham should not be missed and offers a litany of enthralling museums. Its modern name derives from an Anglo-Saxon chieftain called Snot - hence Snotingham!

It possesses an evocative 11th century castle - erected by William the Conqueror and rebuilt by the Duke of Newcastle in the 18th century – and has surprises round every corner. A combination of the old and new, the city is a major seat of learning, an industrial giant and a place of ancient buildings.


Nottingham Castle Gate House -

Its annual Goose Fair dates back to the Middle Ages, as does an inn called ‘Trip to Jerusalem’, which is hewn into a rock. It is said to be England’s oldest public house.

Nottingham was then a prosperous market town but in the 18th century its population increased fivefold as its hosiery and lace industries boomed thanks to steam-powered machinery.

Beneath its bustling streets is a remarkable labyrinth of more than 400 man-made caves. These have been transformed into a series of living museums, including old-time shops and a Victorian slum.


In recent times the city has been home to world-acclaimed industries, from Raleigh, the bicycle maker, to John Player, the cigarette manufacturer, and Boots the Chemist, founded by locally-born Jesse Boot.

A ‘must-see’ for admirers of great literature is the former home of the prolific novelist D. H. Lawrence who was born in 1885 in the coal mining town of Eastwood, the son of an illiterate miner and a schoolmistress. His house, at 8a Victoria Street, is one of the county’s most interesting museums.

Bingham area

Small market town nestling in the countryside but only 20 mins drive to Nottingham and less to Newark. The old town of Lincoln can be reached to the North and Leicester to the South. If you wish to stray further afield you could reach the famous cobbled town of York or walk round the stunning architecture of Cambridge. in Many pretty villages around in which to walk or cycle and maybe a pub lunch. There are trains to the seaside or maybe you would like the caves in Derbyshire. In Bingham itself the local pubs do good food by big open fireplaces or visit one of the many restaurants. The market is on Thursdays and the leisure centre is always a good all weather alternative to a bike ride.
