Toad Lane, Laxton

Walnut Cottage comprises an individually built and recently extended detached three bedroom bungalow featuring air sourced heating and exceptionally high quality fittings. 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. The lounge with bi-fold doors has a southerly aspect and open views. The kitchen is well appointed and the appliances are unused. There is an inner hall, three bedrooms and a nicely appointed bathroom with shower. The property has an integral single garage and the plot has substantial walled boundaries providing 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 largely undeveloped with Thoresby Estates owning many of the farms. St Michael's Church is the central feature of the village and The Dovecote Inn is a very popular pub with excellent food.

The Motte and Bailey Castle is said to be the best preserved in the country. Not withstanding 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 market town of Tuxford just two miles away and here there is excellent Tuxford Academy secondary school. There are also good primary schools available in the surrounding villages of Kneesall, Norwell and Caunton.

The village is approached by country lanes and there are miles of local walks.
