Baldock Road, Letchworth Garden City

Splendidly spacious family home with very generously proportioned accommodation Inglenook-style fireplace with wood burner Quarter acre garden plot Quadruple garage plus good off-street parking

The Property - This detached Garden City house dating from around 1920 has been well extended to provide remarkably spacious family accommodation. The huge drawing room boasts an attractive inglenook-style fireplace fitted with a double-sided log burning stove shared with the family room next door. The latter is open-plan to the dining area. There is a kitchen/breakfast room of equally impressive dimensions and the ground floor is completed by a porch, entrance hall, cloakroom/WC and study.

There are five double bedrooms on the first floor. The master has an en suite bathroom, and the second its own en suite shower room, whilst the remaining rooms are served by an exceptionally well-appointed family bathroom, which boasts both shower cubicle and bath.

The house benefits from uPVC double-glazed windows and central heating supplied by a gas fired boiler located in the loft.

The Outside - The house stands elevated above the road in a plot extending to over a quarter of an acre and measuring approximately 196‘ by 56‘ (59.9m x 17.2m) overall. The front garden is screened from the road by a dwarf wall and tall laurel hedge and laid to lawn with shrub borders. The block-paved drive and forecourt provide good off-street parking and lead via a pair of power-operated gates to the detached quadruple garage to the rear.

The south facing rear garden is some 123‘ (37.4m) in length and laid to extensive lawns on two levels with paved patio, large ornamental pond, raised border and ornamental shrubs, conifers, bamboo and trees.

The area to the rear of the property has been designated as a ‘habitat bank‘.
