2 bedroom house for sale

Walnut Cottage comprises a detached 2 bedroomed bungalow, constructed we believe between 1990 and 1992 with attractive conservation red brick elevations under a pantiled roof. The property stands on the outskirts of Laxton village, a conservation area and there are far reaching views over rolling countryside.

The accommodation is well planned, practical, light and airy. There is a pleasant dual aspect front lounge, a sizeable dining kitchen with a deep window, inner hall, 2 double sized bedrooms and a nicely appointed bathroom with shower. The property has an integral double garage with the potential, subject to planning permission for conversion and extension of the accommodation. The plot has substantial walled boundaries, offering privacy and seclusion.

Laxton is unique among the villages of England today in that here and only here has the open field system of farming survived unchanged since the days before the Norman Conquest. The village with gently rising ground, streets and lanes is undeveloped. St Michael's Church is a central feature of the village and the very pretty Dovecote Inn stands in a corner location.

The Motte and Bailey castle is said to be the best preserved in the country. Notwithstanding the character of the village it is well situated for commuting to Newark, Mansfield, Southwell and Nottingham. Access points to the A1 north and south are within a couple of miles. There are good amenities available in the small market town of Tuxford just two miles and here there is the excellent Tuxford Academy Secondary School. There are also good primary schools available in the several surrounding villages of Kneesall, Norwell and Caunton.

The village is approached by country lanes, there are no main roads and miles of local walks.
