A Private Village Setting With Historic Garden Walls

Set within approximately one acre behind electric gates, Garden House is a beautifully maintained family home occupying the former walled garden of Sutton Lodge. Thoughtfully extended and updated over time, it combines generous accommodation, mature grounds and a wonderful sense of privacy, all within the heart of Sutton-cum-Lound.

A Welcoming Sense Of Arrival

A bright entrance hall creates an immediate sense of welcome, with Karndean flooring, excellent built-in storage and access to the principal living spaces. A south-facing window fills the stairwell with natural light, enhancing the calm and inviting atmosphere.

Fireside Comfort

The main lounge is a warm and comfortable reception room centred around a gas fireplace. South-facing windows draw in natural light, while glazed doors connect seamlessly with the orangery, creating a lovely flow between the spaces.

A Sunlit Orangery & Dining Room

The orangery is a wonderfully light-filled space, framed by triple-aspect glazing, a roof lantern and doors opening onto the gardens. A log burner and electric heating ensure year-round comfort, while connections to both the lounge and dining room create a sociable hub for entertaining.

The adjoining dining room enjoys views onto the private courtyard and offers a welcoming setting for family meals, celebrations and everyday gatherings.

The Heart Of The Home

The kitchen combines practicality with country-house character, featuring granite worktops, an oil-fired AGA, double oven, gas hob, pantry and generous storage. Adjoining dining and snug areas create a relaxed family space, with south-facing doors opening directly onto the gardens.

A Practical Country Utility

Located off the kitchen, the utility room provides a Belfast sink, storage, laundry facilities and direct access to both the courtyard and integral garage. Functioning as a useful boot room, it is perfectly suited to the practical rhythm of country living.

A Principal Suite With Space To Unwind

The principal bedroom enjoys dual-aspect windows, extensive built-in storage and access to a separate dressing room that could also serve as a nursery. The en suite features a large walk-in shower, vanity unit and heated towel rail, creating a comfortable and private retreat.

Flexible Bedroom Accommodation

Bedroom two is a generously proportioned and highly adaptable room, currently used as a study. Triple-aspect windows and a charming window seat overlook the gardens, while its position next to the family bathroom offers future en suite potential.

Bedroom three enjoys views across the side garden and courtyard and benefits from direct access to the family bathroom, making it ideal for guests or older children.

Bedrooms four and five provide two further double bedrooms, offering flexible accommodation for family members, grandchildren or home working.

Family Bathrooms

The family bathroom serves both the landing and bedroom three, featuring a bath with shower over, airing cupboard and courtyard views.

A separate shower room includes a WC, wash basin, vanity storage and enclosed shower, providing additional convenience for family life and guests.

A Detached Cottage With Exceptional Flexibility

Completely separate from the main house, the detached cottage provides office space, workshop accommodation, storage and a fitted shower room. With excellent versatility and future potential, it could suit a variety of uses, including a studio, annexe, guest accommodation or dedicated work-from-home space, subject to any necessary consents.

Practical Storage & Garaging

The integral double garage benefits from electric doors and internal access to the utility room, while additional storage is provided by the former donkey stables and wood store.

Gardens Worthy Of The Name

The grounds are a defining feature of Garden House. Set within an approximate one-acre plot, with an option to lease up to 15-acres by separate negotiation, the grounds feel wonderfully established, private and full of character.

A wisteria-clad courtyard offers a sheltered retreat close to the house, while the wider gardens include extensive lawns, mature borders, a fish pond, orchard and tennis court. Designed for both relaxation and recreation, the grounds provide space for entertaining, family life and enjoying the changing seasons.

Out & About

Sutton-cum-Lound is a popular village offering a strong sense of community and easy access to the surrounding countryside. Retford, Bawtry, Clumber Park and Yorkshire Wildlife Park are all within easy reach, while excellent rail links from Retford provide direct access to London King’s Cross.

Combining privacy, history and flexibility, Garden House is a distinctive village home offering generous accommodation, exceptional gardens and a lifestyle perfectly suited to modern family living.
