Sutton-in-Ashfield rental market, what landlords need to know
Sutton-in-Ashfield is a market town in Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, situated in the Leen Valley approximately 13 miles north of Nottingham, 12 miles south of Mansfield's commuter fringe, and 16 miles north-east of Derby. With a population of approximately 47,000, Sutton-in-Ashfield is the principal town of Ashfield District Council (which also covers Kirkby-in-Ashfield and Hucknall). The town's economy was historically anchored in coal mining and hosiery (the Ashfield area was at the heart of the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire coalfield, and the hosiery and knitwear industry that developed alongside it). With the decline of coal and traditional manufacturing, Sutton-in-Ashfield has undergone significant economic transition: the retail and service sector centred on Low Street (the town's main shopping street) and the Market Place; distribution and logistics facilities (the A38 dual carriageway passes immediately east of the town, connecting to the M1 at Junction 28, approximately 5 miles east); healthcare (King's Mill Hospital — the district general hospital for Ashfield and Sherwood; operated by Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust; approximately 1.5 miles north-east of the town centre); and light manufacturing in the residual Ashfield industrial estate network. Rail: Sutton-in-Ashfield does not currently have a direct railway station; the nearest stations are Kirkby in Ashfield (~2.5 miles south; services to Nottingham ~35 min on the Robin Hood Line) and Mansfield (~4 miles north; Robin Hood Line services). The A38 is the primary road access. Average rents for a 2-bed are £600–£750 pcm.
