Stoney Lane, Bovingdon, Hemel Hempstead, HP3

An extensive three bedroom single storey dwelling of over 2200 sq ft situated on a beautiful mature plot of approx 1.19 acres in a wonderful and sought after semi-rural location.

Perfectly positioned within its plot, Norton Cottage benefits from ample frontage with a sweeping gravel driveway leading to the house and double garage whilst the rear garden is south west facing and backs onto open countryside. The property would benefit from some modernisation but also offers the potential for further extension (SSTP) to create a stunning family home. The property currently offers a flexible layout with enormous potential to further enlarge and reconfigure if required and subject to necessary planning consents. Currently it comprises a large entrance hallway which seamlessly links all rooms; the main bedroom accommodation is to one end where the principal has a large bay window offering views out to the garden and its own en-suite, and there is a further double bedroom which has use of the adjacent family bathroom. The formal dining room occupies a central position in the property and is conveniently next to the sitting room which has a large feature bay window and fireplace. Doors from this room lead to the sun room, which is a lovely spot to enjoy the garden outlook. The kitchen is conveniently located to the front aspect and has a separate utility room and w/c. A further flexible room beyond the kitchen and utility is currently utilised as a 3rd bedroom but could equally work as an additional reception and has its own door and access to outside. In the hallway a pull-down ladder gives access to a useful loft room with a window providing natural light. The gardens at Norton Cottage are South-East facing and wonderfully mature and private, being mainly laid to lawn and sectioned via low hedgerows into different areas to enjoy. Beyond what was once a tennis court to the rear is a stunning open aspect offering far reaching views across open countryside. There is a detached summer house nestled amongst the trees which would be ideal as a home office, gym or studio space. To the front, the property is accessed via a traditional five bar gate opening onto a long sweeping gravel driveway offering ample parking and leading to the detached double garage. Stoney Lane is a delightful private road containing substantial detached family homes in a peaceful semi-rural location, yet within close proximity to amenities in Bovingdon, a mainline railway station and major road links.
