Description
The spacious interior offers a warm, welcoming feel and has been sympathetically updated while retaining its original period features.
The ground floor begins with an entrance porch that leads into a characterful dining room with solid oak herringbone flooring and a feature fireplace housing a floor-standing log burner. The adjoining lounge enjoys dual-aspect windows, exposed timber ceiling beams, solid oak flooring, and a traditional fireplace with stone hearth and exposed brick insert, fitted with a Carron multi-fuel stove.
The heart of the home is the impressive open-plan dining kitchen, with French doors opening onto the rear garden. This space is fitted with shaker-style units, granite worktops and upstands, a large central island with breakfast bar seating, and integrated Neff appliances, including twin ovens, combination microwave, an induction hob with extractor hood, and space for a fridge freezer. A decorative stone fireplace adds further charm. From the kitchen, a latch-and-brace door leads into a practical laundry and boot room with tiled flooring, rear access, and plumbing for appliances. A cloakroom with WC completes the ground floor.
Upstairs, a spacious galleried landing gives access to four generously sized double bedrooms and benefits from useful linen cupboard. The principal bedroom enjoys far-reaching rural views and benefits from a modern en-suite shower room with a large cubicle, WC, and vanity unit.
The remaining three bedrooms are all well-proportioned and served by a family bathroom with a panelled bath and shower over, WC, and wash basin with vanity storage.
Outside, the home is approached through two sets of double timber gates which open onto an expansive gravelled driveway with parking for multiple vehicles and EV car charger. This leads to a brick-built garage with a pantile roof, double doors, power and lighting, and a fixed ladder to an upper floor offering additional storage or potential for conversion, subject to relevant permissions.
The mature rear garden is laid mainly to lawn, bordered by hedgerows and timber fencing, and features a raised patio seating area that enjoys uninterrupted views across open fields and neighbouring paddock land.

Location
Located in the heart of rural north Nottinghamshire, Laxton is a rare and special village, renowned for being the only place in England to have preserved the medieval open-field farming system.

A range of village clubs and societies help create a welcoming atmosphere for newcomers and long-time residents alike. The surrounding countryside provides ideal opportunities for walking, cycling, fishing, horse riding, and other outdoor pursuits in beautiful, unspoilt surroundings.
