Description

Built in 1905 for one of the original craftsmen who helped shape the vision of Letchworth, this four-bedroom home isn’t just part of the Garden City story - it’s helped write it. And after more than four decades in the same family, it’s ready for someone new to carry that story forward.

Set back on a 0.17-acre plot, the house has real presence. From the gravelled drive to the broad frontage and deep bay windows, there’s a sense of scale and sturdiness that sets it apart.

The layout flows with the kind of ease that makes a difference day to day. Two reception rooms sit at the front of the house — the living room offers space to unwind, with its gentle angles and chimneybreast adding a natural focus, while the second reception is perfect for hosting or family meals, the bay window bringing in morning light and a sense of calm.

The entrance hall itself is more than a hallway - it’s a room in its own right. Over the years, it’s been the setting for family Christmases, oversized trees, and long, laughter-filled dinners. It’s a feature many wouldn’t expect to find but one that changes how the whole ground floor feels.

Towards the rear, the kitchen has plenty of room to cook and eat, with views out to the garden and space for a table. It’s not the flashiest kitchen, but it’s solid, practical, and inviting - the kind of space you can grow into over time. Off the kitchen, a separate utility room helps keep the laundry and daily tasks out of sight, and a downstairs WC means guests never need to head upstairs - a simple but welcome convenience.

The garden is generous and full of life, with a mix of patio, lawn, flower beds and a winding path that leads down to a charming brick-built outbuilding - ideal for hobbies, storage, or even a garden studio. While the side boundary does back onto other homes, the planting offers a good degree of shelter, and the space still feels open and green.

All four bedrooms are proper doubles. The main bedroom stretches across the depth of the house, with windows front and back and a tiled fireplace connected to the central chimney you’ll spot from the front elevation. Each of the other three rooms has its own feel and outlook, with original details like fireplaces and built-ins still intact.

The bathroom includes both a separate shower and a full-size bath - ideal for busy mornings and early train commutes, or for winding down in the evening with a soak. It’s also great for young families needing both the speed of a shower and the ease of bathtime.

Just beneath the main bedroom, a distinctive brick archway marks the path to the rear garden - a subtle architectural feature that’s both practical and characterful, and one that hints at the thoughtfulness behind these early Garden City homes.

The location gives you the best of both worlds - green and peaceful, yet just a nine-minute walk to the station and town centre. You’ve got Broadway Cinema, the tennis club, David’s Bookshop, Vutie Beets and a choice of cafes all close by, along with several highly regarded schools including St Francis’ College, Garden City Academy, and St Christopher. Letchworth station connects easily to London, Cambridge and the south coast - with direct trains to Brighton via London Bridge and easy transfers to Luton, Stansted, and Heathrow airports. Whether it’s the weekday commute, school run, or weekend getaway, everything is comfortably within reach.

This is a house with roots - solid, individual, and full of potential for a new generation to make it their own.
