Bushfield Road, Bovingdon, Hemel Hempstead

Westbrook Cottage is a traditional semi detached family home positioned along a private leafy road in the commuter-friendly village of Bovingdon.

Situated on an expansive plot, this home offers you the opportunity to create something really quite special. The potential to extend the property (subject to planning) to both the side and the rear quite literally opens up so many architectural design possibilities that this property offers something for everyone.

Description - Stepping inside from the pretty front porch, the conventional entrance hall offers access to the cloakroom/wc, traditional living room with bay window and the kitchen/dining room, as well as providing stairs to the first floor. Under the stairs is a generous cupboard containing the boiler with ample space for coats, shoes, bags and buggies etc.

The living room is a cosy space in which to relax at the end of the day and the bay window affords plenty of natural light. Across the rear of the of the property is the re-fitted kitchen/dining room, joined by a useful utility space. The kitchen is fitted in a timeless style, with a range of storage to cream cabinetry, and ample surfacing to co-ordinating worktops. Integrated appliances include a gas hob with an extractor, and an oven. There’s also a gap for a dishwasher in the kitchen, and further space for a fridge/freezer, and space for a washer dryer in the utility area as well as additional storage facilities. The dining area looks out onto the back garden and has the capacity for a breakfast/dining table for casual morning coffees or family meals. The back door off the kitchen gives easy access to the patio and garden for taking dinner outside on warm days.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, comprising two doubles and a single. Bedroom one benefits from fitted wardrobes and a bay window. All three bedrooms share the family bathroom, which has a wc, a sink with vanity unit under, and a bath with mixer taps and a shower attachment, There’s a convenient cloakroom downstairs too, with a separate shower unit, great for cleaning up the sporty kids after football practice.

Heading outside, the leafy secluded garden is just as charming as the house, making for a delightful spot to spend the day come spring and summer. Stretching back approximately 150ft and mostly lawned, there is enough space to accommodate all tastes, a vegetable patch for mum and dad perhaps, enough room for the children to play football or any other sport and a fantastic space to entertain family and friends over for the summer BBQ, they will be envious!!

There are mature and well-stocked beds for the green-fingered, with a hardstanding for a shed and/or greenhouse for storing tools and sowing seeds.
To the front, there’s off-road parking for 3-4 vehicles on the gravelled driveway, with a garden area behind low fencing consisting of a lawn and more mature planting. It’s a magnificent plot on a quiet private road and provides a blank canvass for you to create your very own personal home unique to your family.

The address is particularly well placed for swift access into Hemel Hempstead and Berkhamsted, Chesham and Amersham, and for easy commuting into London. Hemel Hempstead has rail services into London via Euston in as little as 27 minutes, Chesham is on the Metropolitan line, and Bovingdon is within easy reach of the A41, M25 and M1. Both Heathrow and Luton airports are around half an hour away.

Bovingdon provides an array of amenities without need to venture into town, from shops and a Post Office, pubs and an off licence, butchers, a bakery and a sandwich bar, a barbers and a beauty salon, doctors, dentists and a pharmacy, as well as a takeaway and an Indian restaurant. There’s an Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ Montessori, nursery and primary academy, with further and independent schooling in surrounding areas, and plenty to keep adults and children alike entertained, from yoga and pilates, Scouts and Brownies, and a variety of sports clubs and classes.

Being on the outskirts of the Chiltern Hills and in a rural village position, there are many fabulous walks on your doorstep, including a lovely by-way Stoney Lane directly connecting Bushfield Road into the heart of Bovingdon village - a stones throw from The Bell (the best pub food for miles around!). Alternatively, just across the road is Little Hay Golf Club serving a fabulous Sunday carvery. What a spot to set off from and return to here at Westbrook Cottage.
