The Accommodation - Recessed Porch • Sitting Room • Kitchen • Dining Room
Landing • Bedroom 1 • Bedroom 2 • Bathroom
The Property - This delightful early Garden City town cottage forms part of the Grade II listed Bird‘s Farm Estate designed by Parker & Unwin, the chief architects of the Garden City project, and built in 1906. This pioneer estate was the earliest estate layout of its type, and the prototype of many future developments throughout the country. Very well modernised and extended, the cottage fully retains its original character and charm with its signature parquet flooring in the main reception room and the dining room extension to the rear adds a whole extra dimension.
The two bedrooms are served by a well appointed first floor bathroom, which boasts both bath and shower.
The cottage benefits from virtually full double-glazing with the windows to the front having hardwood frames and gas fired central heating.
The Outside - The cottage is set at the head of a small close off the main run of Ridge Road with the open front garden being laid to lawn with ornamental shrubs. The brick paved and gravel forecourt provided off-street parking.
The charming split-level block paved rear courtyard garden is some 23‘ (6.94m) in depth and enjoys considerable privacy with an attractive wooded spinney screening it at the rear. It also has herbaceous borders and ornamental shrubs. Timber garden shed. Gate to the spinney to the rear.
The Location - Ridge Road is a much sought-after residential road of attractive cottages dating from the early days of the Garden City, close to Howard Park on the eastern side of the town centre. No 42 is within half a mile of the town centre and the mainline railway station. 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 just 1.6 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. Hillshott Infant School is within a quarter of a mile.
