2 bed flat for sale

Sollershott East, Letchworth Garden City SG6

Some flats feel like a compromise.

This one doesn’t. At just over 876 sq ft, this first-floor apartment offers the kind of internal space more often associated with small houses rather than apartments - and the difference is obvious the moment you step inside. Built in the 1940s, the layout reflects a time when room sizes, storage and natural light were treated as essentials, not optional extras.

The living and dining room sits at the heart of the home and is genuinely generous in scale. It comfortably accommodates both seating and dining without either feeling squeezed, making it easy to host, work from home or simply enjoy having space around you. Wide windows span much of the room, drawing in natural light and opening out to a private balcony with a pleasant outlook across the communal gardens - greenery rather than parked cars or roads.

The kitchen is kept separate, which works particularly well here. It’s bright, practical and sensibly laid out, with good worktop space and a large window bringing in light and views across the grounds.

Storage is well considered too, including additional hallway cupboards that support day-to-day living without cluttering the main rooms.

When it's time to relax and recharge - both bedrooms are proper doubles. Each can take full-size furniture comfortably, with wide windows and proportions that feel calm rather than compressed.

The bathroom is clean, modern and fully tiled, with a bath and shower over - catering for invigorating morning showers or long evening soaks. It's finished in a neutral style that works now and leaves scope to personalise later.

Outside is where this home really sets itself apart. The apartment sits within Letchworth’s Heritage area, surrounded by mature, well-maintained communal gardens that feel intentional rather than token - places you’ll genuinely use, not just look at. Low-rise buildings, generous spacing and established trees give the setting a quiet, settled feel that’s increasingly rare.

Own a car? - there is plenty of residents parking and space for visitors too. Unusually for a flat, the property also benefits from its own garage, adding valuable storage or secure parking and reinforcing how this home sits closer to “house living” than typical apartment life.

All of this is within easy reach of Letchworth town centre and the mainline station, making everyday life and commuting straightforward while still enjoying the breathing space the Garden City is known for.

For those coming from outside the area, Letchworth Garden City strikes a rare balance between green space and connectivity. The town centre offers independent shops, cafés and everyday essentials without feeling overbuilt, while the surrounding open spaces and tree-lined streets reflect its Garden City heritage.

The mainline station provides direct rail links into London King’s Cross and Cambridge, making commuting realistic without the town feeling dominated by it. By road, the A1(M) is easily reached, keeping north and south routes straightforward, while Luton Airport is around 25 mins and Stansted around 45 mins away for wider travel.

This is a home for buyers who want space, light and solidity - and who don’t want to feel they’ve compromised simply because they’re choosing a flat.
