4 bedroom detached house for sale

Offered to the market for the first time in almost 50 years, this exceptionally spacious and beautifully presented four double bedroom detached family home is situated within the highly sought after Highfield area of Letchworth.

Occupying a generous plot, this wonderfully bright and spacious home has been lovingly cared for and thoughtfully improved over the years, including a substantial two-storey rear extension upgrades to the gas heating system and insulation, refitted bathrooms and replacement doors.

Presented in genuine move-in ready condition, whilst still offering excellent scope for further enhancement if desired, this is a rare opportunity not to be missed.

Set well back from the road, the driveway provides off road parking for several vehicles and leads to a single integral garage, complemented by an attractive and well-maintained front garden.

A practical entrance porch leads into a spacious and welcoming hallway. From here, the impressive L-shaped living room, featuring a coal-effect gas fire, leads seamlessly through wooden concertina folding doors into the rear extension, currently arranged as a family and dining area. A slide and pivot door provides the ideal vantage point for admiring the lengthy and colourful garden.

Adjacent to this is a generously proportioned home office with ample space for two workstations or which could alternatively serve as a playroom, a fifth bedroom or a snug. The fitted kitchen is bright and functional, complete with breakfast bar seating, a utility area for appliances and a convenient side access door. Completing the ground floor accommodation and accessed from the entrance hall, is a stylishly refitted shower room.

Upstairs there are four generous sized double bedrooms, two benefitting from fitted wardrobes, whilst the two rear bedrooms enjoy particularly attractive views over the rear garden and adjoining countryside. A further fitted wardrobe is located at the end of the landing. The bedrooms are served by a modern refitted family bathroom

Externally, the beautifully landscaped west-facing rear garden is undoubtedly one of the home’s finest features. Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully designed with all-year-round contrasting leaf colour, it offers a generous block-paved patio seating area, well-kept lawn and an abundance of mature trees and shrubs with flower beds for colourful annual and perennial planting.

At the far end of the garden is a bank of mature shaped conifer trees surrounding a raised flower bed accommodating a charming wildlife pond. Storage of garden equipment and tools is provided by an unobtrusive garden shed at the side of this raised bed.

Situated on the south-west side of Letchworth Garden City, the neighbourhood of Highfield is well-known for its individual houses and large gardens. It offers close proximity to popular public and state schools such as The Highfield School, St Francis College and St Thomas More Catholic Primary School. Located away from the busiest part of town it still offers easy access to the town centre with its range of independent shops and chain stores, and is just a one mile walk from the mainline train station with frequent fast services to both London and Cambridge.
