Blackmore, Letchworth Garden City, SG6

Property Insight:

If you’re looking for a renovation project on Letchworth’s popular Lordship estate, this four-bedroom detached property has serious potential. 

As you step into the entrance hall, this family home immediately feels welcoming although in need of some love and updating.  The traditional layout includes a kitchen/breakfast room with side access to the garden via a part-glazed door.  Despite needing complete renovation, the room is a good size, with space for a table and chairs.  The downstairs could easily be reconfigured to create a flow that is better suited to modern family requirements. 

Located behind the kitchen, and accessible via a hatch, is the dining room, which opens on to the sitting room to create a versatile and sizeable space for enjoying time with family and friends.  This room has ample space for a table and chairs and would make the perfect place for hosting special occasions. The spacious sitting room has scope to become a lovely zone for relaxing after a busy day.  Large, glazed sliding doors open on to the garden and introduce plenty of natural light, and a large fireplace in the corner helps create a cosy atmosphere.  It’s easy to imagine curling up on a comfy sofa in front of the fire on a winter’s evening.  Completing the downstairs is a handy cloakroom and a large walk-in cupboard – both invaluable additions to a busy household.

Upstairs are four, well-proportioned bedrooms.  The principal bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes and a spacious ensuite shower room.  With a little updating it would make a beautiful space to unwind.  Two of the other bedrooms are double rooms and the fourth bedroom is a comfortable single, all with superb potential.  The family bathroom is a bright space, again in need of modernisation.

Outside, the L-shaped garden also has a lot of potential.  Benefiting from mature trees and shrubs, as well as a lawn, it’s easy to envisage what a great asset it could be with a little attention.  To the front of the property is a spacious driveway, as well as a garage which provides plenty of storage.

Located a short walk from the well-regarded Lordship Farm primary school, this property presents a blank canvas for renovation, possible extension, and a fantastic opportunity to create a really special family home.
