Is Retford a nice place to live?

Retford is a charming market town in Nottinghamshire, 26 miles east of Sheffield. With its Georgian architecture, green open spaces and thriving community, residents enjoy a welcoming atmosphere that feels both peaceful and well-connected.

There’s plenty to do in and around Retford. The town is home to the Bassetlaw Museum, which explores the local area’s history, and the Majestic Theatre offers a year-round calendar of live performances. Retford has a traditional market in the town square, which has stalls selling fresh produce, handmade goods and more. There are plenty of independent shops, cafés and eateries in the high street, which all contribute to a vibrant town centre with a friendly, local feel. For outdoor leisure, there is Idle Valley Nature Reserve, located just on the edge of town, which offers walking trails, birdwatching and views across the wetlands. Chesterfield Canal is also close by and a favourite among walkers, joggers and boaters.

When it comes to property, Retford offers a range of options to suit different lifestyles and budgets. You’ll find everything from attractive period homes in the town centre to new-build developments and family-friendly estates on the outskirts. The housing market is considered more affordable than in many nearby towns and cities, which has made Retford popular with commuters, first-time buyers and downsizers alike.

Retford is also well-served by transport links. The town’s railway station is on the East Coast Main Line and offers direct services to London in around 90 minutes and regular connections to cities such as Doncaster (taking 15 minutes), Lincoln (taking 40 minutes), Sheffield (taking 45 minutes), and Leeds (taking an hour). For drivers, the nearby A1 provides a convenient north-south route through the region.
