The former Welwyn Garden City home of architect Louis de Soissons has gone up sale at a price of £1 million.

17 Guessens Road was originally build in 1923, with de Soissons living there between 1925 and 1937, which is acknowledged by a blue plaque at the front of the home.

The Canadian-born architect played a key role in the founding of Welwyn Garden City, helping to bring much of Sir Ebenezer Howard's vision to life.
