The Location - Southfields is an established residential road in the Grange area on the north western side of Letchworth. No 55 is just 1.1 miles from the town centre and mainline railway station. Letchworth Garden City is on the Cambridge to London mainline with services running regularly throughout the day. The fastest service to London King's Cross takes just 29 minutes with Cambridge 26 minutes away in the other direction. Junction 9 on the A1(M) is only 2.6 miles away by car, with Junction 10 being 3.4 miles.
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, green open spaces and other leisure facilities. A Tesco Express convenience store and other local shops are within a quartet of a mile. The 63-acre Norton Common, the most notable of Letchworth's green open spaces, is less than a third of a mile away.
