The Property - As the plaque on the front of the house confirms, this charming early Garden City cottage was designed by the chief architects of the project, Parker and Unwin, and was built by the well known local firm of Beckley and Turpie in 1908. It will, therefore, not be a surprise to learn that it has been designated a ‘Home of Special Interest‘ by the Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation. The cottage has been well modernised to the highest standards, whilst retaining its original charm and character. This delightful home now boasts solid oak ledged internal doors throughout and oak finish and tile flooring throughout the ground floor. The well-fitted bathroom has a vaulted ceiling with exposed timbers and the master bedroom has an en suite shower room.
The cottage is of solid brick construction, roughcast rendered externally, under a tiled roof and benefits from uPVC double-glazed windows and doors and gas fired central heating.
The Outside - The cottage is set some 35‘ (10.75m) back from the road with a gravel parking area to the front providing off-street parking for two cars and an EV charging point. The remainder of the front garden is laid to lawn with herbaceous borders and screened by laurel hedges.
The overall plot has a length of approximately 173‘ (52.74m) with the rear garden being some 111‘ (34m) in depth. The rear garden is approached via a gate from a shared footpath and is laid to lawn with a large paved patio, herbaceous borders and ornamental shrubs. There is a large timber garden shed 11‘7' x 8‘2' (3.53m x 2.49m) beyond which is a split-level paved patio to catch the afternoon and evening sun at the rear of the plot and surrounded by raised beds.
The Location - North Avenue is conveniently located to the north-east of the town centre within the Letchworth Conservation Area. No 16 is less than a mile from the main shopping centre and just a mile from Letchworth Garden City mainline railway station. Letchworth Garden City is on the Cambridge to London mainline with the fastest service to London King‘s Cross taking just 29 minutes and Cambridge 28 minutes away in the other direction. Junction 9 on the A1(M) is 2.6 miles away by car.
Designed in the early 20th Century to combine the benefits of town and country, Letchworth Garden City was the worlds 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 splendid 63 acre Norton Common, is within half a mile.
