Description

With lovely views over Bovingdon Green and its own, well-established gardens, Rowberry Cottage is a detached family home originally constructed in 1912 and later extended in the 1960s and 1990s. The generously proportioned accommodation offers excellent potential for modernisation and improvement, or extension and development subject to obtaining planning consent. The plot is a decent size at about 0.4 acres, being substantially larger than many of its immediate neighbours.

Inside it is traditionally appointed, with a number of period elements still intact. The ground floor accommodation is arranged around a central hallway leading to a dual aspect sitting room, a separate dining room, a kitchen with open plan utility area and a shower room/WC. Upstairs there are four bedrooms, two of which are ensuite, and a family bathroom. The two rooms at the front of the house have access to a balcony overlooking the green.

Rowberry Cottage is situated within the conservation area of Bovingdon Green, set behind a private tarmac driveway which forks across the green to a good-size parking area to the front of the house. The rear garden is an excellent size, enclosed by a boundary of mature hedges and trees creating a fantastically leafy aspect. The expansive lawn is accessed via a large patio area, with mature borders and flowerbeds adding colour. The house benefits from an attached garage with a large workshop at the rear, two sheds and a useful outbuilding with water, light and power.
