DEER LEAP Deer Leap is a substantial period country house in need of a well-considered and complete programme of restoration and modernisation set in remarkable mature light mixed woodland grounds extending to 1.70 acres / 0.69 hectares (or thereabouts). The property occupies a stunning position on high ground just outside Oxton village capturing unrivalled views across the bordering Greenbelt countryside of the Oxton Estate, in a southerly direction; arguably one of the most spectacular locations for a private house in the area. Deer Leap has been a much loved family home for many years and today it offers a wonderful opportunity for restoration and/or possible well considered redevelopment or 'one for one' replacement with a new sustainable dwelling (subject to planning and building regulation considerations) in what would be one of the most idyllic settings in which to embark upon a project of this nature. Surrounding the house there are carefully managed mature woodland grounds with gently sloping lawns, creating a setting of great beauty. Approached from Southwell Road along a rising and winding tarmacadam drive through a timber gated entrance, Deer Leap nestles in the heart of the plot some distance from the road. In our opinion, a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a home for the long term with enormous potential in a highly convenient location close to Southwel,l amenities with direct access to Nottingham, Mansfield and further afield. OXTON & SOUTHWELL Oxton is a highly regarded village to the northeast of Nottingham protected by a Conservation Area designation and having the essential ingredients of traditional village life - a thriving Post Office and village grocery store, a village hall, Salterford House School (private), two village inns and an active church community. The thriving Minster town of Southwell offers a wider range of retail amenities, professional services and sports centre, and local Southwell schooling is of a renowned standard across the age ranges. The larger market town of Newark on Trent, offers a more extensive range of retail amenities, professional services, restaurants and leisure facilities including also a first-class sport centre and swimming pool complex and a marina. From Newark there is direct access to the A1 national road network and a fast direct rail link into London Kings Cross in a scheduled journey time of 80/85 minutes. Nottingham is accessed across country through Redhill and along the A60 Mansfield Road into the City centre with the City Hospital and the Queens Medical accessible from the Nottingham Outer Ring Road.
