Splendidly spacious family home with very generously proportioned accommodation • Inglenook-style fireplace with wood burner • Quarter acre garden plot • Quadruple garage plus good off-street parking

The Property - This detached Garden City house dating from around 1920 has been well extended to provide remarkably spacious family accommodation. The huge drawing room boasts an attractive inglenook-style fireplace fitted with a double-sided log burning stove shared with the family room next door. The latter is open-plan to the dining area. There is a kitchen/breakfast room of equally impressive dimensions and the ground floor is completed by a porch, entrance hall, cloakroom/WC and study.

There are five double bedrooms on the first floor. The master has an en suite bathroom, and the second its own en suite shower room, whilst the remaining rooms are served by an exceptionally well-appointed family bathroom, which boasts both shower cubicle and bath.

The house benefits from uPVC double-glazed windows and central heating supplied by a gas fired boiler located in the loft.

The Outside - The house stands elevated above the road in a plot extending to over a quarter of an acre and measuring approximately 196' by 56' (59.9m x 17.2m) overall. The front garden is screened from the road by a dwarf wall and tall laurel hedge and laid to lawn with shrub borders. The block-paved drive and forecourt provide good off-street parking and lead via a pair of power-operated gates to the detached quadruple garage to the rear.

The south facing rear garden is some 123' (37.4m) in length and laid to extensive lawns on two levels with paved patio, large ornamental pond, raised border and ornamental shrubs, conifers, bamboo and trees.

Please note: the vendor understands that the Letchworth Heritage Foundation intend to re-wild the area immediately to the rear.

The Location - The house is located in the south-east of Letchworth Garden City, within a mile of 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 train to London King's Cross takes just 29 minutes, as does that to Cambridge. For drivers, Junction 9 on the A1(M) is just a mile away.

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, leisure facilities and many green open spaces
