A truly distinctive Early Garden City residence, Towercroft is an exceptional exposed red brick home set behind a carriage driveway on the prestigious Hitchin Road. Occupying a generous 0.365 acre plot, the property is instantly recognisable thanks to its striking turreted frontage and characterful architectural design believed to be inspired by Andalusian influences.
Beautifully maintained and thoughtfully extended over the years, the property offers substantial and versatile accommodation including four reception rooms, four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Period charm blends effortlessly with modern living, creating a home of both character and practicality.
Entering through the covered storm porch, a stunning entrance hall welcomes you with intricate wood detailing, decorative cornicing and an impressive spiral staircase set within the turret. A cloakroom is positioned beneath the stairs, while the ground floor benefits from impressive 8ft ceilings and solid oak internal doors believed to have been reclaimed from a stately home.
The ground floor provides superb living space including a 32ft open plan family area incorporating the dining room, kitchen and breakfast area. The kitchen is fitted with modern cream gloss units, black granite worktops and integrated appliances, while the breakfast area enjoys a charming curved seating space within the rear turret overlooking the garden. A generous 30ft dual aspect lounge with feature fireplace provides an elegant reception space, while the former garage has been converted into a practical home office ideal for modern working. A separate utility room adds further convenience.
Upstairs, the spiral staircase leads to a spacious landing with access to all bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a bright and impressive space featuring a broad south facing window, built-in wardrobes and a luxurious four piece en-suite with roll top bath and walk in shower. Two further double bedrooms and a fourth smaller double are served by a family bathroom. There is also access to a substantial fully carpeted loft room with dormer window which offers excellent additional space and, subject to planning permission, could be converted into a fifth bedroom.
Externally the property enjoys a beautifully landscaped rear garden extending approximately 215ft. Designed to the highest of standards, the garden features large paved patio terraces, elegant water features and thoughtfully designed pathways creating perfect spaces for entertaining, relaxing and alfresco dining. Beyond the patios the garden opens into expansive lawns leading to a charming orchard area, complemented by a summer house with power supply and timber sheds, all set within a peaceful and private setting.
To the front, the home sits approximately 70ft back from the road with a block paved carriage driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles alongside manicured lawns and access to the garage.
