The Property - This attractive early Garden City house will amply reward those prepared to give it the TLC it currently needs. Set in a plot extending to over a quarter of an acre, the house is set back behind a coach drive and offers tremendous scope to update, improve and extend (subject to any necessary consents).
The house retains its original charm and character and had been extended on the ground floor. It currently provides sitting and dining rooms, semi open-plan around their fireplaces, garden room, breakfast room, large conservatory, kitchen and cloakroom/WC on the ground floor. There are two double bedrooms and a spacious bathroom on the first floor. A ladder from the second bedroom leads via a hatch to two versatile loft rooms.
Many of the windows have sealed unit double-glazing and the house benefits from gas fired central heating.
The Outside - The house stands in a generous plot of 0.267 acre and measuring approximately 196' by 55' (59.9m x 16.9m) overall. Screened from the road by a hedge, the front garden has a wealth of mature ornamental shrubs, conifers and trees. An in-and-out coach drive laid to shingle, provides good off-street parking and leads to the detached garage.
A gate between the house and garage leads to the rear garden, which is some 104' (31.8m) in length and laid to lawn with split-level paved patio, pergola, raised beds, ornamental shrubs and conifers and apple trees.
There is a useful range of timber outbuildings (see floorplans) requiring some remedial work, a brick-built cart shed-style garden shelter or gazebo and a lean-to greenhouse.
The Location - Green Lane runs north to south on the eastern side of the town. 'Woodstock' is just a mile from the town centre and within a mile and a quarter of the mainline railway station. The Pink House is just a mile from the town centre and mainline railway station. Letchworth Garden City is on the London to Cambridge mainline and regular services run throughout the day. The fastest services to London King's Cross take just 29 minutes and to Cambridge is 27 minutes in the other direction. Junction 9 on the A1(M) are only 2.2 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. The town provides excellent schools, shops, green open spaces and leisure facilities. Close to the Letchworth Greenway which rings the town, 'Woodstock' is only three-quarters of a mile from the 63-acre Norton Common, the most impressive of the Garden City's green spaces.
