The Property - This delightful early Garden City semi was designed as an entry to the Cottage Exhibition of 1905. Extended about twenty years later, it has recently undergone a thorough refurbishment and some internal remodeling and is now an absolutely stunning example of this very appealing style of home. It fully retains its original charm and character and benefits from thoughtful updating and improvement. The centrepiece is the fine open-plan kitchen and dining room, complemented by a cloakroom/WC/laundry and a spacious sitting room with gas fired stove fitted to the fireplace. There are three bedrooms, one currently used as a study, on the first floor, plus a very well-appointed bathroom and a mezzanine library platform.
Constructed of solid brickwork under an attractive tiled hipped mansard roof, the house benefits from composite double-glazed replacement windows matching the original style and gas fired central heating.
The Outside - The house is set some 60‘ (18.5m) back from the road in a plot measuring approximately 141‘ by 38‘ (43.1m x 11.8m) overall. The front garden is screened by hedges and laid to lawn and paving with herbaceous beds and borders and ornamental shrubs. At the front of the plot is a brick paved forecourt providing off-street parking for two cars.
A gate to the side leads to the rear garden, which is about 56‘ (17m) in depth and laid to lawn with paved patio, herbaceous beds and borders, fruit tree and ornamental shrubs. Large timber garden shed.
The Location - The house enjoys a very convenient central location between the town centre and the 63-acre Norton Common and within a third of a mile of the mainline railway station. Letchworth Garden City is on the London to Cambridge mainline and regular services run throughout the day. The fastest to London King‘s Cross take just 29 minutes and Cambridge is 27 minutes away in the other direction. Junction 9 on the A1(M) is just 2 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. It provides excellent shops, schools, leisure facilities and green open spaces, of which, Norton Common is the most impressive and only a 200 yard walk away.
