Little Aston Park is a private residential estate set in a woodland setting, located approximately seven miles north of Birmingham in Little Aston. It is one of the most prestigious localities in the Midlands consisting of approximately one hundred multi-million pound individual architect designed houses, centred around the historic rhododendron lined Roman Road. The estate features a championship golf club, Little Aston Golf Club, a church, St. Peters Church and is within easy walking distance of Sutton Park - Europe's largest urban park. The entrance/exit roundabout to the Park is also sponsored by Bentley and Lamborghini, whilst the official Stratstone Ferrari and Maserati dealership is within one mile.

"A wealthy world away

Sutton is less than ten miles from Birmingham, but wealthy enclaves such as Little Aston and Four Oaks are a world away from its workaday neighbours.

Perched on the edge of the wilds of Sutton Park, homes on these private estates are a mecca for businessmen and footballers."

The management company, LAPRA Limited (Little Aston Park Residents Association) maintain the private roads, gates and employ security officers to ensure that trespassers are removed from the estate.

Within the last ten years several developers have acquired land and built new houses; some residents have demolished their existing houses to build larger properties and there are examples of houses being completely rebuilt with new outer facing bricks and major modifications. Many residents have also installed electric gates around their property to bolster their existing security measures.
