This distinguished early Garden City home, designed under Parker & Unwin influence and built in 1908, combines period charm with modern convenience. Thorough restoration and high-spec upgrades (2014–2016) have preserved original timber window designs while adding insulation, new services and an award-winning finish — ready for immediate family occupation.
The house sits on an exceptional plot of about 0.44 acre with extensive lawns, terraced patio, Koi pond and a productive kitchen garden. The ground-floor extension creates a bright kitchen/breakfast/family room with a large roof lantern; a converted detached garage provides an insulated studio currently used as office and gym — ideal for home working or hobbies.
Accommodation is generous: five bedrooms across three floors, a master suite with dressing room and an impressive bathroom, plus a well-appointed family bathroom on the first floor. Practical details include underfloor heating to the ground floor, double-glazing in original timber designs, a detached double garage, and fast broadband and typical 5G mobile coverage — useful for modern family life.
Important practical considerations: the property lies within the Letchworth Conservation Area and is subject to the Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation requirements, plus possible restrictive covenants and easements that may limit some changes or uses. Council Tax is relatively high (Band G) and recorded local crime is above average; prospective buyers should verify any covenant/easement details and review local safety data. Overall, this is a rare, large-plot family house marrying period character with contemporary living, best suited to buyers seeking space, strong local schools and easy rail links to London and Cambridge.
