The Property - Don't let the lack of internal photos deceive you, the interior of this remarkable individual detached home is just as impressive as its exterior and grounds. This exceptional home provides splendidly spacious, versatile and beautifully presented family accommodation. The generously proportioned drawing room is complemented by a cosy sitting room, which opens to a garden room. The equally impressive kitchen/breakfast room, fitted to a very high standard opens to a fine conservatory. There is also a separate dining room.

The first floor carries on the theme of space and quality. The expansive master bedroom has a range of built-in wardrobes flanking a dressing table and an adjoining chest of drawers. The en suite to the master bedroom has both bath and shower. The second bedroom has its own en suite shower room, whilst the remaining two bedrooms are served by the family bathroom. The top floor provides a large study, office or play room or could supply additional bedrooms, if required.

The house benefits from double-glazing and gas fired central heating and enjoys splendid views over the adjoining Golf Course.

The Outside - The house is set in beautifully landscaped gardens, with the plot extending to some 243' by 206' ( 74.1m x 62.9m) overall. It is well screened to the front by a laurel hedge, shrubs and trees. Two pairs of electrically powered double gates open to the gravel in-and-out coach driveway, which provides generous off-street parking and leads to the detached double garage. Another pair of gates open to a paved area adjoining to pool room complex and workshop/store.

The south facing rear garden has a large paved patio terrace with fountain water feature and from which steps lead down through rockeries planted with a fine and varied collection of ornamental conifers to the main lawns. The whole plot is planted with numerous mature trees, shrubs and conifers. A second paved patio adjoins the immaculate full size hard tennis court. The main patio leads to the completely private pool area with its 12m x 6m heated swimming pool and adjoining pool room complex.

A bridge over a small stream (the flow is seasonal, but is a tributary of the River Purwell) leads to an area of the garden, amounting to less than a third of the plot, which is held on a 90 year lease (70 years unexpired) from the Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation at a nominal rent. This is laid out in similar style to the rest of the garden and with an ornamental pond and bamboos.

There are a number of timber sheds and summerhouses in the garden and the whole backs on to the attractively wooded Golf Course.

The Location - Garth Road is an exclusive private road of substantial individual detached properties located off Letchworth Lane on the favoured south side of the town, adjoing the town's renowned Golf Course. Just a mile south of the town centre, Elm Hollow is within a mile and a quarter of the mainline railway station. Letchworth Garden City is on the London Kings Cross to Cambridge mainline and offers regular services throughout the day. The fastest to London Kings Cross take just 28 minutes and Cambridge is 26 minutes away in the other direction. Junction 9 on the A1(M) is 1.5 miles away by car.

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. It provides excellent shops, schools, leisure facilities, including a cinema/theatre and green open spaces. The St Christopher School and Lordship Farm Primary School are within half a mile and St Francis College, Highfield School and St Thomas Moore RC Primary School within three-quarters.
