A Unique Early Garden City Semi Detached Character Home Located Centrally Within The Town Centre
Agents Note
Lytton Avenue
No.1 Lytton Avenue is a unique Early Garden City semi detached character home located centrally within easy walking distance of the town centre and the main line train station. Dating from 1906 the property was thought to be a site office during the early Garden City development programme. In the 1920's the building was the home of the Busyville Knitting Company one of the Garden City's first companys. Busyville was a business run by Mr Richard Howorth and they exported knitwear around the world. In the 1930's the building was converted into two semi detached houses and have been houses ever since. Retaining many character features and offering immense charm throughout the property won a Heritage Foundation Commendation Award for maintaining and observing the highest standards when renovated in 1993.
