Sutton Lane, Elton

A rare opportunity indeed… a spacious and characterful detached property, created in 1957 but with a clever design that gives a feeling of a much older and very imposing property - hence the high quality materials, the spacious layout with plenty of light behind the design brief, as the property was placed with a southerly facing frontage; allowing the sunshine to stream in through the main windows.

The House in the Garden, as its name suggests, was created within the grounds of the original Elton Manor - hence the many feature boundary brick walls set on a substantial plot, which may be developed even further, subject to necessary planning permissions from the local authority... could the grounds be developed with more properties or simply extending the existing home?

This beautiful home is set within the picturesque and historic hamlet village of Elton on the Hill. Rectangular in shape, the total plot of gardens is approximately 0.8 acres, 3,872 sq yds or 3,235 sqm.

As the property is still owned by the original occupier who aided with the design, many of the original features still remain within the property including open fireplaces, functional AGA in the kitchen, spacious and open reception hallway with fireplace, shaped windows, greenhouse and outbuildings and plenty of character at every turn.

Within the gardens is a wonderful Garden House which, with only a little work and imagination could become the perfect Home Office for all those who have seen a change in working arrangements over the last few years - a peaceful haven.

The House in the Garden benefits from a very quiet and peaceful location, set within its own grounds and located with a Hamlet setting. Perfect for anyone wishing to swap the sounds of city life, traffic and sirens with bird song and fresh air!
