The Property
Set within the popular village of Great Bowden, 11 Welham Lane is a short distance from the green at the heart of the village and sits close to countryside walks nearby.

The property, which was originally constructed in the 1950s, represents an excellent opportunity for improvement or re-development subject to the necessary consents.

In its current layout, the principal reception rooms and three bedrooms are found to the ground floor off a central hallway, with stairs rising to the first floor where there are a further two bedrooms, with one leading to the other.

The drawing room is of an excellent size at some 27’ long, and with an unusual, curved bay with window seat, and a similarly unusual, curved window to the corner of the room introducing light to the front. The room has a lovely parquet floor, and a woodburning stove creates a focal point, inset into a deep chimney breast with a granite hearth and timber bressummer over. The kitchen is well-equipped with a range of wall and floor mounted units, a double stainless-steel sink and granite work surfaces, a traditional Aga, separate fitted oven and herringboned red-brickette floor. There is a useful larder off, and the back door leads out to the garden beyond.

The shower room has been refitted, with modern walk-in double shower, vanity unit, WC, and contemporary tiling to the walls, with timbered floor. The three bedrooms to the ground floor are all of a very good size, complemented by two further bedrooms to the first floor.

Outside
11 Welham Road is approached via a block paved driveway, to a single garage with storerooms and outside WC. Separately, and further into the plot are two Harlow timber stables and a tack room.

The gardens wrap around the property to three sides, predominantly laid to lawn, with mature hedging and specimen trees to the boundaries giving a good deal of privacy.

The overall plot extends to just over half an acre, and offers potential for expansion or improvement subject to the necessary consents.
