Fancy becoming a real Lord or Lady of the manor? Well now's your chance because the UK's last remaining feudal village is up for sale for £7 million, complete with a Lordship.

Laxton Estate in Nottinghamshire is made up of 17 working farms, 10 cottages, a visitor's centre and a pub. The village dates back to 1066, and still operates on the Medieval strip farming system which was once commonly used across the country.

The Crown Estate

The estate agent's listing describes Laxton as a 'unique 1,845 acre heritage estate' generating £230,000 a year through the village's visitor's centre, along with farming wheat and cereal in the traditional way.

Each of the 17 farms has a red brick farmstead along with the right to work the land under Laxton Court Leet, an ancient manorial court. The manor is nestled in Nottinghamshire's rolling countryside and has changed little since a 1635 map of the village, held in Oxford’s Bodleian library, was drawn by hand.

The Crown Estate, a property agent which works on behalf of the Treasury, has owned Laxton since 1981. A spokesperson says they are now selling because 'as a commercial real estate business we recognise we may not be best placed to manage the estate moving forwards'.

Any potential buyer will need to adhere to strict stipulations to preserve the historic village for future generations.

'The Laxton estate is a unique asset that preserves an important part of Britain’s agricultural heritage,' the Crown Estate said in a statement.

'Our focus will be on finding an appropriate purchaser who values Laxton’s unique role and history and who is fully committed to preserving it for the future. As we progress our work to find a suitable owner for the estate, we’ll continue to work closely with local tenants and interested stakeholders, to keep them informed.'
