Spring Road, Letchworth Garden City

A truly impressive early Garden City detached family home successfully combining its original character with modern living • Outstanding quarter acre garden plot • Off-street parking plus garage • Highly desirable location

The Property - This very impressive early Garden City detached house retains its original charm and character whilst having been remodelled and updated internally to create an exceptional and well-appointed contemporary family home. The centrepiece is the outstanding open-plan family/garden room and kitchen/breakfast/dining room running the width at the rear. A separate sitting room, study, laundry/utility room and cloakroom/WC complete the ground floor.

On the first floor, the master bedroom has its own en suite shower room and the three other double bedrooms are served by a smart family bathroom with both shower and bath. A very pleasing feature is the snug or quiet area created from the rear landing as a balcony overlooking the garden room.

Of solid brick construction with later cavity brickwork additions, all roughcast rendered externally under a tiled roof, the house benefits from uPVC double glazed windows, quadruple double-glazed folding doors from the garden room to the rear garden and gas fired central heating (underfloor to the kitchen and garden room) supplied by a boiler located in the loft.

The Outside - Set in a fine corner plot of approaching a quarter of an acre and measuring approximately 230' by 41' (70.18m x 12.5m) overall, the house stands back behind a picket fence with hedges to either side. The front garden is laid to lawn with ornamental shrubs and tree. The block-paved driveway provides off-street parking and leads to the attached garage.

The west facing rear garden is some 174' (53.1m) in length and laid to lawn with a split-level block-paved patio with a pergola over the upper level, herbaceous beds and borders, ornamental shrubs and trees, including a fine mature silver birch and an ornamental pond with adjoining areas of decking. At the rear of the plot is a wilderness garden providing potential for a vegetable plot. Timber garden shed.

The Location - Located in the Letchworth Conservation Area on the favoured south side of the town, the house is within half a mile of the town centre and only two-thirds of a mile from the 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 26 minutes in the other direction. Junction 9 on the A1(M) is 2 miles away by car.
