Nevells Road, Letchworth Garden City

This attractive detached cottage from the 1905 Exhibition is a fine example of early Garden City style • Scope to unleash its full potential • Fine garden plot • Garage and off-street parking • Outstanding central location • CHAIN FREE

The Property - This delightful early Garden City home has the distinction of being an entry in the Cottage Exhibition of 1905. Subsequently extended, it retains much of its original charm and character and would amply reward further improvement. The ground floor provides two semi-open-plan reception rooms, plus a garden room/conservatory, cloakroom/WC and extended kitchen/breakfast room.

There are four bedrooms on the first floor, one currently used as a study, plus a well-appointed bathroom boasting both shower and bath.

The house benefits from uPVC double-glazed windows and gas fired central heating.

The Outside - The house stands in a good plot measuring approximately 196' by 36' (59.8m x 11m) overall. The front garden is enclosed by hedges and laid to lawn with an ornamental tree. The concrete driveway provides off-street parking and leads via double gates to the detached garage to the rear.

The rear garden is some 138' (42.3m) in length and laid to lawns with paved patio, herbaceous beds, apple trees and ornamental shrubs, trees and fine specimen conifers.

There is a substantial timber workshop and garden store at the rear of the plot.

The Location - Nevells Road lies in the heart of the Letchworth Conservation Area, just to the north of the town centre, less than half a mile from the mainline station and main shopping area. Letchworth Garden City is on the Cambridge to London mainline with the fastest service to London King's Cross taking just 29 minutes and Cambridge 27 minutes away in the other direction. Junction 9 on the A1(M) is less than 2 miles away by car.

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 green open spaces, the most notable of which, the 63-acre Norton Common, is just a 200 yard walk away.
