Land at the entrance to Beeston Fields Golf Club is being sold by the owners to allow the club to invest in a major refurbishment programme for the clubhouse, which dates back to the 1830s.

Savills Nottingham is marketing the development site, which is around 0.75 acres and has planning permission to build three, vernacular-designed, four-bedroom homes, as well as consent to convert and extend the existing lodge, previously the gate house to Beeston Fields.

“The redevelopment of the land at Beeston Fields Golf Club will enable the owners to realise their aspirations for improvements, which will not only benefit its members and residents in the close vicinity, but also provide an opportunity for stunning new residential units in an attractive green and leafy setting,” stated Ann Taylor, Associate Director in the development team at Savills Nottingham.

“I have no doubt that this site will be highly desirable to developers due to Beeston’s accessible location, superb transport links and close proximity to Nottingham University, the QMC [Queen’s Medical Centre] hospital and the ring road system.”

The golf club was founded in 1923 by former Lord Mayor of Nottingham Fred Mitchell, whose family still own and manage the club.

“This development is an exciting opportunity for us. It will improve the entrance to Beeston Fields and will also enable us to move ahead with our ambitious plans to refurbish and upgrade our restaurant and clubhouse,” added Philippa Marshall, Managing Director of Beeston Fields.

“The purchaser will also be buying a site steeped in local history as Beeston Fields was once the home of Sir Harold Bowden, founder of the famous Nottingham bike brand Raleigh.”

The property is currently under offer, according to Savills.
