Property description
An Edwardian four bedroom extended early Garden City home with driveway parking and rear gardens including a walled vegetable garden and a swimming pool, set in a tree-lined location in South Letchworth.
This Letchworth Garden City home was built in 1905 and retains original features inspired by the Arts & Crafts movement, notably the staircase. The property was extended in the early 1990s and now has approximately 3,000 sq. ft. of accommodation arranged over three floors which includes on the ground floor an entrance hall and an over 27 ft. by 17 ft. family/dining room leading into a conservatory. There is also a sitting room, with a raised glazed area overlooking the garden, and a kitchen/breakfast room with separate utility and cloakrooms. The original staircase rises to the first floor landing, leading to three double bedrooms and a family bathroom; the principal bedroom has a sitting area and an en suite shower room. The second floor landing accesses a full height loft and a fourth double bedroom with a dressing room. At the rear of the garden are double gates leading to a driveway with off street parking for up to four cars along with an EV charging point.
Reception Rooms
The family/dining room has natural wooden floors, Seagrass matting and an open fireplace with a canopy and a marble surround. There are two windows overlooking the front, French doors, and a walk-in bay window at the rear. An arched doorway leads to the conservatory, which has tiled flooring and an underfloor heating system. The Smallbone fitted kitchen has a range of wall and base cabinets with Iroko wood countertops in keeping with the original built-in dresser, and a tiled floor. There is a Range cooker, space and plumbing for a dishwasher, and room for a breakfast table and chairs.
Bedrooms
The principal bedroom measures over 26 ft. by nearly 17 ft. and has a range of fitted wardrobes, triple aspect windows and a sitting area. There is a door to the en suite which has tiled walls and floor, a walk-in shower, a low level WC and a wash basin. Bedroom four is on the second floor and has a window overlooking the rear garden and a Velux window. A door leads to a dressing room which could be converted into an en suite if required
Garden
The established rear garden has a swimming pool heated by an air source heat pump and is mainly laid to lawn. A walled vegetable garden has a variety of mature shrubs and trees. There is a greenhouse and two additional outbuildings (one for the pool pump), both have power and lighting, as well as a boiler room housing the Worcester combination boiler. At the rear of the garden there is a hard standing area which is currently used for undercover seating and entertaining.
Situation and Schooling
Letchworth was the world’s first ‘Garden City’, which was planned to combine the best of both town and country living. The area has a variety of well-regarded local schools, along with a range of amenities, in both the town centre and nearby Hitchin, and is conveniently located for rail and motorway links. The house is less than a mile from the town centre and the mainline station.
