3 bed detached house for sale

Blind Lane, Oxton, Southwell, Nottinghamshire NG25

Situated on the peaceful Blind Lane within the heart of the Oxton conservation area, is this charming detached three-bedroom period cottage.

Honeycroft is understood to be one of the older homes within the village and offers a delightful blend of historic character and comfortable living.

Dating back to approx. The 1800's, the cottage presents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of considerable charm set within beautifully maintained gardens.

The property welcomes you into the entrance porch and hallway with staircase and wrought iron balustrading to the first-floor landing, forming an interesting circular stairwell.

The ground floor offers two versatile reception rooms, each with period detail including exposed original ceiling beams and charming cottage-style bay windows overlooking the front gardens. The first sitting room features a stone fireplace with fitted electric fire and recessed shelving, while the second reception room is equally inviting with its own corner stone fireplace set upon a raised hearth.

The dining kitchen serves as the main hub of the home, arranged in a traditional style with stripped pine storage units, granite work surfaces and exposed ceiling beams. A gas-fired Rayburn provides both character and practical cooking facilities, enhancing the rustic appeal of the space. A secondary open-tread staircase leads from the kitchen to the first floor, while a useful walk-in utility cupboard provides plumbing for a washing machine and additional storage. A further kitchen utility area includes a single oven and ceramic hob, work surfaces and space for white goods. There is access through here to the garden room.

To the rear of the property, the garden room and conservatory provide a lovely vantage point across the gardens. This split-level space is filled with natural light from a series of double-glazed windows and French doors that open directly onto the courtyard terrace. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a well-appointed fully tiled shower room, fitted with a corner shower enclosure, wash hand basin with vanity storage below and a W/C.

Upstairs, the first floor offers three double bedrooms and a family bathroom, accessed via both the main staircase and the secondary staircase rising from the kitchen.

The principal bedroom enjoys views across the front garden and Blind Lane, while the second bedroom benefits from an attractive outlook over the surrounding village landscape.

The family bathroom features a traditional suite including a semi-sunken bath, wash hand basin, W/C and full wall tiling. The third bedroom is positioned to the rear of the property, overlooking the delightful gardens and benefiting from built-in wardrobes. An airing cupboard is situated on the outer landing where the Worcester gas-fired boiler is housed.

A particular highlight of the property is its beautifully maintained cottage garden setting.

The home sits behind a traditional period walled frontage to Blind Lane, with a five-bar gate opening onto a driveway that provides ample off-street parking and access to a detached double garage with electric door, power and lighting.

The gardens have been thoughtfully designed and carefully tended, featuring well-stocked herbaceous borders, colourful planting and lush lawns. A rockery garden, ornamental fruit trees and kitchen garden area with greenhouse add further interest, while a flagged courtyard terrace offers a wonderful spot for outdoor dining and quiet relaxation. A brick-built outbuilding provides a useful garden workshop and additional storage.

The village of Oxton is widely regarded as one of Nottinghamshire’s most desirable rural locations. Set amidst rolling countryside yet within easy reach of the historic market town of Southwell, the village offers a welcoming community atmosphere, village shop and two well-regarded public houses. Residents enjoy a peaceful village lifestyle with convenient access to excellent schooling, the city centre and transport connections, with the A46 providing straightforward links to Nottingham, the M1 motorway and the wider region.

This combination of rural charm and accessibility continues to make Oxton a highly sought-after place to call home.
