Impressive first floor apartment in a superb conversion of a Grade II listed Victorian hospital set in very attractive landscaped grounds
The Property - This impressively spacious and well appointed apartment is located on the first floor of the imposing Grade II listed Fairfield Hall, formerly a Victorian hospital and which has undergone a high quality conversion to a mansion block of apartments.
A lift takes you from the communal entrance hallways to the first floor and the apartment has the security of an entry-phone system linked to the external front door and the power operated gates at the entrance to the grounds. The heart of this attractive home is the spacious living room with a raised dais in the large bay window providing a dining or study area and open-plan to the fitted kitchen. Both bedrooms are doubles with the master bedroom having its own en suite shower room.
Fairfield Hall is of solid brick construction under a tiled roof. The apartment benefits from high ceilings and its own independent central heating system supplied by an electric boiler.
The Outside - Fairfield Hall forms the centrepiece of a new village built in part of the 253 acre grounds of the Grade II listed former Fairfield Hospital which opened in about 1860. The village incorporates the mature woodland and shrubs that existed before the development and there are many pleasant walks through the parkland and around the Green and Blue Lagoons.
Automated gates linked to the apartment offer the first layer of security and open to the roadway leading to the parking areas. A numbered allocated parking space is located in the west car park and there are also spaces for visitors.
The Location - Fairfield Hall is located in the heart of Fairfield, a new village of the borders of Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire. It is conveniently located only 2.3 miles from Letchworth Garden City town centre and mainline railway station and the same distance from Junction 10 on the A1(M). 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.
