This description by Country Properties in the summer of 1998 will give you some idea of what you would find. I quote ...
"Tettenhall , Sollershott West , LetchworthTo the SouthA real part of Letchworth's heritage has just come onto the market place. This beautiful old 1907 Garden City Residence was designed by C M Crickmer for a gentleman by the name of M Connal Parker Esq. The property still holds all its original charachter , charm and rooms as were designed back in 1907. it is a rare opportunity to purchase a property of this style and charachter in need of sympathetic restoration although the roof has just received a complete stripdown and replacement.
The house presently consists of 3 large reception rooms , kitchen , pantry , large scullery , ground floor cloakroom , lots of walk in cupboards , 6 bedrooms , upstairs bathroom amd double garage plus several out buildings. It is set well back on its plot of 3/4 of a acre with an additional 1/2 acre by separate negotiation. Offers around £550,000 "
