The Property - This highly individual, remarkably spacious and undeniably flexible early Garden City home was originally designed in 1905 by the sculptor, Onslow Whiting. A further large room was added in 1920s for a local artist and was later used as a dancing ‘studio’. In recent years a new wing has extended the ground floor accommodation even further making the property perfect for multi-generational living with the new wing having been designed for mobility use, as a self-contained annexe for dependent relatives. There is an additional kitchen and the ground floor bedroom adjoins a bathroom with both walk-in shower and bath.
The original house offers three first floor bedrooms served by a bathroom and a shower room.
The whole house can be used as one spacious living unit with the large ‘studio’ offering flexibility for use as a games room, living room or home office.
The property benefits from gas fired central heating and is available for rent unfurnished.
The Outside - The house stands in a fine corner plot of just under half-an-acre, screened from the road by hedges and a wall. The delightful gardens are attractively laid out with extensive lawns, herbaceous beds and borders, brick paved patio and numerous fine specimen shrubs and mature trees.
There is vehicular access from both Norton Road and Norton Way North with an off-street parking area adjoining each access and providing space for more than six cars. The parking area off Norton Way North is enclosed by electric gates and leads to a cart shed style garage.
The Location - The house stands on the corner of Norton Way North and Norton Road, the premier residential location of the northern side of the town. There is a large open space immediately opposite and it is less than 200 yards from the splendid 63 acre Norton Common, a nature reserve which boasts a large outdoor heated swimming pool. It is just three-quarters of a mile from 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 2.3 miles away by car and Junction 10 is only 3 miles away.
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.
