THE PROPERTY
Originally one of the renowned cottages from the Exhibition of 1905, this stunning early Garden City home has been exceptionally well extended, updated and improved. It has, however, retained its original charm and character, with the fireplaces being particularly fine. This attractive family home now offers three reception rooms, a large kitchen/breakfast room and a shower room/WC on the ground floor. Upstairs, there are four good bedrooms and a family bathroom with both bath and shower.
A very pleasing feature of the house is its outlook over the tree-lined open green, an acre in extent, at the centre of the close. It also benefits from part double-glazing and gas fired central heating.
The property is available for rent either unfurnished or part furnished.
THE OUTSIDE
The house stands in a fine plot measuring approximately 169' by 39' (51.57m x 12m) overall. In addition to the open green to the front is an open-plan front garden laid to lawn with herbaceous borders and ornamental shrubs. A gravelled area provides an off-street parking and turning area.
A gate to the side leads to the side and rear gardens, the latter being some 108' (33.1m) in length. To the side of the house is an area of decking and adjoining paving. The attractive rear garden is laid to lawn with herbaceous beds and borders, ornamental pond, raised bed and ornamental shrubs and trees. At the rear of the plot is a chicken run and coop and a block paved parking area accessed from Eastholm via two pairs of double gates. The parking area also leads to the detached double garage with loft above.
THE LOCATION
Eastholm Green is a private crescent conveniently located to the north-east of the town centre, just a mile from the mainline railway station and main shopping area. Letchworth Garden City is on the London Kings Cross to Cambridge mainline and offers regular services throughout the day. The fastest to London Kings Cross take just 28 minutes and Cambridge is 26 minutes away in the other direction. Junction 9 on the A1(M) is only 2.4 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. It provides excellent shops, leisure facilities, schools and green open spaces, the most notable of which, the 63 acre Norton Common, is within 200 yards.
