The Property - This remarkably spacious and attractive double-fronted traditional Garden City property dates from 1928 and has been home to three generations of the same family, the first of whom bought it from the builder. Therefore, the very definition of a family home, it has been exceptionally well extended, updated and improved, whilst retaining its original charm and character. The centrepiece of this fine home is the superb and well-fitted large kitchen/dining room, which is open-plan to the sitting room and has two wide-opening double-glazed tri-fold doors to the garden. This splendid entertaining area is complemented by a separate snug or family room and a study. Upstairs are four double bedrooms, the master having an en suite shower room, and a well-appointed family bathroom with both bath and shower.

The kitchen/dining room, study and utility room have underfloor heating; the remainder benefits from gas fired central heating to radiators and all the windows are double-glazed.

The Outside - The house stands in a fine plot measuring approximately 157′ by 45′ (47.9m x 13.85m) overall. There is a picket fence to the front garden, which is also screened from the street by a box hedge and laid to lawn with ornamental shrubs. The block paved driveway provides off-street parking for at least two cars and leads to the attached garage. Resident′s and visitor′s parking permits are available from the local authority if extra parking is required.

A pair of gates to the side lead to the south facing rear garden, which is some 95′ (29.14m) in length and laid to lawn with paved patio, herbaceous beds and borders and ornamental shrubs and trees. Large timber garden shed. A gate opens to a wilderness area to the rear.

The Location - The house enjoys an enviably convenient central location, set between Norton Common and the town centre, just a third of a mile from the mainline railway station and the main shopping centre. Letchworth Garden City is on the Cambridge to London Kings Cross mainline with the fastest service to London Kings Cross taking just 28 minutes and Cambridge 26 minutes away in the other direction. Junction 9 on the A1(M) is 2 miles away by car.

Designed in the early 20th Century to combine the benefits of town and country, Letchworth Garden City was the world’s first example of this concept and succeeds to this day in achieving its aim. The town provides excellent schools, shops, leisure facilities and green open spaces, the most impressive of which, the 63 acre Norton Common, is only 170 yards (155m) away.
