Step Inside:
A stunning early 19th Century Parker & Unwin build located on one of Letchworth’s most desirable roads, Sollershott West. Steeped in history this early garden city build is one of Letchworth’s ‘property of special interest homes’ making it a staple property in the town’s heritage.
Originally a six-bedroom detached family home built in 1909 for the Crowley family, the property stood proudly on Sollershott West besides its only neighbour for some time before the rest of Sollershott West was developed. Since the property has then been converted into two dwellings with both holding onto original rooms and features.
The property is now a three-bedroom semi-detached that oozes charm and character. As you approach the property you will instantly notice the wealth of features that are still in centre stage, the solid wood front door being one of the first you will come across allows you access to this historic property. The large warming hallway with real wood flooring has doors to the kitchen, W.C, both reception rooms and the stairs to the first floor. The kitchen, which was part of the original house before the split, has been modernized whilst still keeping the early nineteenth century charm and era, with a feature island, butler sink, authentic wooden cupboards and quarry tiles. The property has then been beautifully extended to create a dining room with French style doors leading out onto the garden. The rest of the downstairs accommodation comprises a spacious living room with feature log burner, a second reception room with original windows and flooring and a downstairs toilet.
Upstairs there are three good sized bedrooms, the master has the benefit of build in storage and a bay window. The Victorian style family bathroom with separate toilet completes the upstairs space.
Step Outside:
Both the front and rear gardens have been well-maintained with the front having a nearly 100ft gravel driveway, mature shrubs and bushes surrounding the boarders. The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with a patio area, mature wildlife pond and block pave pathway leading you up the garden to a shaded seating area. The property also benefits from a timber-built garage with utility and ‘studio’ overlooking the garden.
Sollershott West is located just a short walk from the town center and mainline train station and benefits from being closely situated to Highfield, St Francis and St Christopher schools.
