Edwalton is a suburb to the south of Nottingham in England, contiguous to West Bridgford and Gamston, and is composed of the older Edwalton village and several, much larger, post-war housing estates.

History

One of the earliest mention of Edwalton village is in the Domesday book where it is listed amongst the lands given to Hugh de Grandmesnil by the King. The land required more than three ploughs and consisted of 20 acres (81,000 m²) of meadow.

Since the marriage of the heir to the Musters' family estate (West Bridgford's former landowners) into the Chaworth family, the areas of West Bridgford and Edwalton have been conjoined, first as the West Bridgford Urban District Council, and now as part of Rushcliffe Borough Council

Property

While the official boundaries of Edwalton are debatable, Boundary Road is commonly accepted as the border between West Bridgford and Edwalton.

Edwalton contains some of Nottingham's most expensive properties, with Valley Road, Melton Road, Croft Road and Village Street containing properties worth over one million pounds. Edwalton Hall is the largest property in the suburb, and is now an exclusive complex of mews houses and apartments. Originally the private residence of the Chaworth family, it later became a hotel and restaurant before being developed by Crosby Homes. The complex includes a gym, swimming pool and croquet lawn.
