Buy a piece of history at Letchworth

Anyone who has been past the site of the former Norton School in Norton Road recently will have realised by now that history is coming to life.

Award-winning housebuilder Miller Homes has been developing at the site since last year, and is currently converting the old school building into a selection of small apartments and homes.

The conversion of the old school – which was founded in 1905 and is a typical Edwardian-style building – fuses the old with the new to offer purchasers homes which are modern on the inside yet which still retain character on the outside.

Steve Garton, Area Sales Manager for Miller Homes, says: “The sensitive conversion of the old school building is likely to appeal to purchasers who want the peace-of-mind and guarantees associated with buying new combined with the characteristics and quirky features of an older property. The houses have just been released for sale and are certain to appeal. And with only a limited number available, purchasers are advised to visit soon to avoid disappointment.”

The two bedroom mews-style homes, spaced out over more than 800 sq ft, offer a unique opportunity to buy a piece of Letchworth’s history. As one would expect from Miller – voted What House? Housebuilder of the Year in 2007 – specification throughout is of the highest standard and the finish is second to none.

Each home has a fully fitted kitchen and also comes with carpets throughout. A key feature of these homes is the spectacular internal secret garden, which is a landscaped area designed for residents to enjoy.

Located in the highly sought-after residential area of Norton Road, the development is well situated for the local post office and is also within walking distance of Letchworth town centre. Letchworth is also conveniently located just off the A1, which provides access to the M25. The M1 is also easily accessible, making Letchworth the perfect location for the commuter.

The mews-style homes are priced from £259,950. Visit Millerhomes.co.uk for further details.
