Bathroom THE PROPERTY This delightful Grade II listed period end of terrace cottage forms part of a group of cottages set in the centre of the historic village of Willian on the southern outskirts of Letchworth Garden City. Most of the cottages date from the early 19th Century, but No 20 is part of a much earlier building which inspired the others and dates from Medieval and possibly even Norman times.

The cottage boasts a wealth of exposed timbers and the sitting room has a fine inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove. There is an attractive period fireplace in the master bedroom.

It now also benefits from a modern fitted kitchen, first floor bathroom and gas fired central heating. THE OUTSIDE The cottage stands elevated above the road, screened by a tall hedge, in a fine plot of approaching a fifth of an acre and measuring some 123' by 97' (37.45m x 29.5m) overall. The bulk of the plot is to the front and side of the cottage, but enjoys considerable privacy. It is laid to lawn with paved patio, ornamental shrubs and trees and fruit trees. Shed.

There is a courtyard garden to the rear, shared with the adjoining cottage.

NB A section of the plot is retained by the Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation to ensure that it will never be built upon, but it remains exclusively for the use of the property. THE LOCATION The cottage enjoys a very pleasant semi-rural location in the village of Willian on the southern outskirts of Letchworth Garden City and an attractive setting close to the historic parish church. The village is also served by a shop/post office, a pub and a pub/restaurant. It is just a mile and a half from the town centre and less than a mile and three-quarters from Letchworth Garden City mainline railway station. 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 27 minutes and Cambridge is 28 minutes away in the other direction. Junction 9 on the A1(M) is only three-quarters of a mile away.

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 and schools. The Lorship Farm JMI School is half a mile away. TENURE LEASEHOLD: 99 years from 2007. Peppercorn Ground Rent. "
