If you’re looking for a property in a historic area of Nottinghamshire, you could do no better than looking in Caunton; a village mentioned in the 1080 AD Doomsday book. Nestled between Nottingham and Newark-on-Trent, Caunton provides life in an English country village without having to sacrifice commutable distance. This highly desirable village features a much-loved village pub, strong community atmosphere and several charming walks in the surrounding woods, countryside and along the River Trent. Newark Northgate station and the A1 are a short distance away, positioning Caunton as the perfect setting for commuters and village dwellers alike.
Caunton Manor is currently owned by the Lord Lieutenant of Nottinghamshire and his Lady wife, Sir John Peace and Lady Christine Peace, who keep the manor as their private residence. However, they have spent the last 20 years developing the 30 acres of grounds and gardens which are now open for the public to enjoy at selected times. Parts of the estate are also used for Caunton Manor Stud, an equestrian breeding and training program founded by Victoria Musson.
