An 18th‑century detached cottage in Laxton offered as an exciting renovation project. The property combines period character and a large long rear garden (0.175 acre) with useful outbuildings including a garage, stable, coal house with loft and garden store — rare for a village High Street plot. Accommodation currently provides two reception rooms, kitchen, ground‑floor bathroom, walk‑in pantry, two staircases and four double bedrooms on the first floor.
This house sits in Laxton Conservation Area and benefits from a rural hamlet setting with rolling countryside and good local amenities, including a popular pub and well‑regarded schools. Mains water, electricity and drainage are connected and the roof was re‑tiled circa 2002. The scale of the building and outbuildings creates clear scope to add value for a buyer prepared to undertake substantial works.
Important practical points: the property requires renovation and some structural repair; it currently has an EPC rating of G and a redundant septic tank noted to the side. There is an historic easement on the mains water supply to the neighbouring property; indemnity cover may be required. Because of its condition, some lenders may not consider it normal mortgage security — buyers should obtain specialist survey and finance advice.
This will suit a buyer seeking a character restoration in a highly localised rural community — an investor or experienced owner‑occupier who can manage refurbishment, modernise services and take advantage of the substantial plot and outbuildings to create a comfortable, energy‑improved family home.
