From the Agent: "This rare-to-the-market, midcentury four-bedroom home is one of a small cluster of distinctive buildings designed in 1958 by the celebrated architect and artist Arthur Jackson Hepworth. Occupying a quiet position in Wick Hollow, Glastonbury, the internal living space extends to around 1,500 square feet over two stories, with many exceptionally retained original features. Beautifully landscaped tiered gardens, private off-street parking, and a double garage extend to the rear, and Glastonbury town center is within easy walking distance. The plot, in its entirety, extends to around one-third of an acre and the rear gardens have been beautifully maintained and developed over many years."

The historic home sits on a long, private driveway, which it shares with the neighboring house, also designed by Hepworth.
