Meadow Way, Letchworth Garden City

An individual Garden City home in a highly desirable location • Versatile garden studio, ideal for hobbies or as a home office • Two large attached garages plus good off-street parking • Delightful rear garden

The Property - This highly individual early Garden City home dates from 1923 and, although it has been extended and updated, it still provides further scope. The spacious ground floor provides a sitting/dining room, garden room, kitchen/breakfast room, a study or fourth bedroom (or separate dining room), bedroom and bathroom. There are large garages to either side, that to the right including a laundry utility area, and with a loft above.

The two bedrooms on the first floor were originally a single space and the partition could easily be removed, if required. The landing forms a useful study area and there is a second bathroom.

There is secondary triple-glazing to the timber windows to the front and uPVC double-glazed windows to the rear on the ground floor. The first floor bedrooms have double-glazed 'Velux' rooflights. Central heating is provided by the gas fired boiler located in the loft over the right-hand garage.

The Outside - The house stands in a plot measuring approximately 110' by 49' (33.8m x 14.9m) overall. There is a hedge to the front with an 'in-and-out' concrete and brick paved drive providing good off-street parking and leading to the attached garages.

The delightfully laid out south facing rear garden is some 61' (18.7m) in depth with brick-paved patio, pergola-style gazebo, ornamental pond, apple tree and paved pathways weaving through the herbaceous beds and borders. In addition to the versatile garden studio, ideal for numerous hobbies or as a home office, there is a timber garden shed.

The Location - Meadow Way is a highly desirable residential road, very conveniently located just to the south of the town centre. Windy Ridge is less than a quarter of a mile from the main shopping area and within half a mile of the mainline railway station. 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 a mile and a half 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 house is particularly well placed for easy access to schools, with St Francis' College and St Christopher School are half a mile away and the Highfield School is within a mile.
