Back Lane, Elton, Northamptonshire, PE8

The Property

Set within one of the area’s most sought-after villages, 5 Back Lane is a beautifully refurbished family home offering stylish, versatile accommodation together with wonderful south-facing gardens, perfectly designed for modern village living.

Behind an attractive stone wall and gravelled driveway, the property immediately conveys a sense of privacy and understated quality. The current owners have thoughtfully enhanced the house throughout, creating interiors that combine warmth, natural light and timeless design.

The welcoming reception hall forms the heart of the home and sets the tone for the accommodation beyond, with engineered wood flooring and an effortless sense of flow throughout the ground floor. Of particular note is the exceptional open-plan kitchen and family space; a beautifully appointed room designed very much with entertaining and everyday family life in mind. The shaker-style kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of cabinetry, integrated appliances and a substantial central island, whilst large windows frame views across the garden and fill the room with natural light.

From the hall is a generous laundry and utility room, formerly a study, offering excellent flexibility for modern family requirements.

The sitting room is both elegant and inviting, featuring parquet style flooring, a wood-burning stove and doors opening onto the terrace and gardens beyond. The connection to the outside space is particularly appealing, with a pergola draped in mature wisteria creating a wonderfully atmospheric setting for summer dining, evening drinks and relaxed entertaining. A further reception room beyond, currently used as a study and previously a playroom, provides valuable additional space for home working or family life.

To the first floor, a bright and spacious landing leads to four well-proportioned double bedrooms, all benefitting from fitted wardrobes. The principal suite enjoys its own ensuite shower room, whilst the remaining bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom.

Outside

The gardens are a particular feature of the property and wrap gracefully around three sides of the house, enjoying a highly desirable south-facing aspect. Thoughtfully landscaped and predominantly laid to lawn, the gardens are interspersed with established flower beds, mature planting and a charming, gravelled seating terrace, creating a series of attractive outdoor spaces throughout the day.

The terrace adjoining the sitting room is ideally positioned for alfresco dining beneath the mature wisteria-clad pergola, offering an idyllic backdrop for entertaining family and friends.

To the front, the gravel driveway provides extensive off-road parking and leads to the double garage with power, lighting and EV Charger connected. There is gated access to both sides of the house together with a substantial covered storage area adjoining the garage, ideal for bicycles, gardening equipment and outdoor storage.
