The adjoining utility room could easily be converted to a small kitchen for the annexe. The kitchen and a cloakroom/WC complete the ground floor.

The first floor is equally impressive, with five bedrooms and a well appointed family bathroom. The master bedroom has an en suite shower room.

The house benefits from uPVC double-glazed windows and gas fired central heating.

The rear garden is some 46' (14m) in depth and laid to lawn with an area of decking, herbaceous borders and ornamental shrubs and trees. Timber summerhouse.

The Location - Although the address reads Penn Way, the house is in reality positioned in the residential close of Pear Tree Dell. Penn Way is located in the popular Lordship area on the south side of the town and No 55 is less than a mile-and-a-half from the town centre and within a mile and three-quarters of the mainline railway station. Letchworth Garden City is on the Cambridge to London mainline and regular services run throughout the day. The fastest service to London King's Cross takes just 29 minutes and Cambridge is 28 minutes away in the other direction. Junction 9 on the A1(M) is just over a mile away by car.

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. The town provides excellent schools, shops, leisure facilities and green open spaces. The highly regarded Lordship Farm Primary School is within a third of a mile and it is less than a half-mile walk to the village of Willian with its pubs and other amenities.
