WE HAVE KEYS SO VIEWINGS AT YOUR CONVENIENCE.....
Step into history with this exquisite four-bedroom detached home, originally built in 1923 as part of the iconic "Garden City" movement. This property boasts a rich heritage, having served as the residence of renowned architect and town planner Louis De Soissons from 1925 to 1937.
The home retains many charming period features, including beautifully preserved original doors and exceptional joinery that showcase the craftsmanship of its era. The ground floor has ample space, having been extended to provide a generous living area, with further potential for expansion,(subject to the usual planning consents). The first floor boasts four bedrooms and a family bathroom.
While the property is in need of some refurbishment, it presents an excellent opportunity for those with a creative vision to really make the property their own. Located just off the prestigious Parkway, in the highly sought-after AL8 West side of Welwyn Garden City, this home is a rare find in the heart of the town centre.
One of the standout features of the property is undoubtably the studio that was used by Louis De Soissons ,looking out on to the spacious mature garden. The property benefits from a garage and driveway that offers access to the rear. This property is within the catchment area for the highly regarded Applecroft Primary School and is just a short walk from the mainline station, offering direct services to Kings Cross in under 25 minutes.
Internal viewing is highly recommended to truly appreciate the unique character and exceptional features of this remarkable period home.
