A Brief History of The Litte Aston Park Estate:
The manor of Little Aston dates back to the 14th century and has a history of ownership by several prominent families. The Fowke family purchased the manor for £850 in 1574 and sold it to the Norman family Ducie in 1621. The Ducie family lived there until 1720, at which point the mansion was converted into a stable and a new house was built. The property was later restyled in the Georgian style and updated with an Italianate design. In 1907, the manor and its 1500 acres of land were purchased by an solicitor, who sold off most of the property except for the immediate 100 acres around the mansion, known as Little Aston Hall. The Hall was later used as a headquarters for Esso Petroleum and GKN before being converted into luxurious apartments approximately 30 years ago.
Little Aston Park is now a private residential estate consisting of around 340 unique and prestigious architect designed homes. The parks private roads and gated entrances are maintained by LAPRA Limited (Little Aston Park Residents Association), to which home-owners contribute. To ensure only high standards of development, Lichfield Council requires “for properties to be very large and detached, set down long driveways with significant screening and landscaping between neighbouring properties”. Areas within the park fall into three different categories – within the conservation area, within the conservation area but not within the Little Aston Density Policy and those which are not covered by either. In addition, the non-developed borders to the park are protected by being designated as green belt land. There is no public right of way across the estate.
Location:
Sutton has a lot of features that make it a haven for house hunters, including acres of beautiful green space. The area is home to Sutton Park, one of the largest urban parks in England measuring over 2,000 acres. The park is a jewel in the crown of the Royal Town and is a national nature reserve as well as a site of special scientific interest and a scheduled ancient monument.
The park has open heathland, woodlands, seven lakes, wetlands, and marshes - each with its own rich variety of plants and wildlife, some rarely seen in the region - there are even cattle and wild ponies that graze on the land. Activities in the park include sailing, canoeing, fishing, golf, cycling and horse riding.
Despite having such a huge area of parkland, Sutton Coldfield still has a bustling town centre - with the biggest amount of places to shop and eat outside of the city centre in Birmingham. There are three distinct shopping environments provided by the Red Rose Centre, The Mall and New Hall Walk. The Restaurant Quarter has a cosmopolitan mix of independent and chain eateries, offering everything from Spanish and Italian to Greek and Bangladeshi. There are currently over 22 bars, clubs and pubs in the town centre so there plenty of opportunities to enjoy the nightlife.
Sutton is also notable for being a great area for families. There are a number of great schools in Sutton, including Boldmere Junior School, which was named as one of the top primary schools in the whole of Birmingham in 2016. Students in secondary schools across Sutton regularly perform well in exams, with students in Bishop Vesey’s Grammar School, The Arthur Terry School, and Highclare School all gaining high percentages of A* - C grades over the past few years.
