5 bedroom detached house for sale

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?
