Broadway, Letchworth Garden City

Elegant double fronted detached house with well proportioned family accommodation • Would amply reward some updating • Set in over a quarter of an acre of delightful gardens backing on to a wooded area • Generous off-street parking plus double-length garage • Premier location in a wide tree lined avenue close to the town centre

The Property - The tree lined avenue of Broadway, at the heart of the Garden City, is unusual in Letchworth in that many of its fine houses proudly display their brickwork to the world, rather than hiding it behind roughcast render. No 92 is one such and this impressive detached and much loved family home, dating from the mid 1920's, provides graciously proportioned accommodation, and would richly reward the updating which is now due.

The central entrance hall with its elegant turning staircase to the first floor provides access to the three main reception rooms and the kitchen, which is open plan to the breakfast room. A cloakroom, separate WC and a utility room complete the ground floor. The first floor comprises five bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room, a bathroom and a separate WC.

The house benefits from uPVC double-glazed windows, cavity wall insulation and gas fired central heating.

The Outside - The house is set well back from the road in an impressive plot of over a quarter of an acre and measuring approximately 149' by 76' (45.49m x 23.35m) overall. The front garden is bounded by hedges and laid to lawn with herbaceous borders and ornamental shrubs. The herringbone brick-paved driveway and turning space provide generous off-street parking and lead to the double-length garage, which is linked to the house by the boiler room.

Gates to either side open to the delightful rear garden, which is some 93'6" (28.5m) in depth. The herringbone brick paved patio is separated from the extensive lawns by walled beds. Herbaceous borders are well stocked with ornamental shrubs and the garden backs on to a private spinney, one of the many green open spaces throughout the town, affording a high degree of privacy and a perfect place for children to play. Timber garden shed.

The Location - Broadway is a wide tree-lined avenue leading south from the town centre. No 92 is less than half a mile from the main shopping area and scarcely more from the mainline railway station. Letchworth Garden City is on the London to Cambridge mainline and regular services run throughout the day. The fastest train to London King's Cross takes just 29 minutes, as does that to Cambridge. For drivers, Junction 9 on the A1(M) is just 1.9 miles away.

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 many green open spaces. The property is particularly well placed for easy access to schools with the Highfield School, St Christopher School and Thomas More Primary School all being within half a mile; indeed, if the family includes girls, St Francis' College is literally just across the road.
