Charming one-bedroom cottage in Bovingdon Conservation Area
This attractive one-bedroom terraced cottage sits in Bovingdon’s Conservation Area, quietly backing onto St Lawrence Church. The house is well presented with original character features, a cosy reception room with an exposed brick fireplace, and a courtyard garden — ideal for easy maintenance and village living.
Practical improvements have already been made: the roof has been renewed and the loft recently boarded and insulated, creating genuine potential to add a second bedroom subject to planning permission (STPP). The property is freehold, gas centrally heated via boiler and radiators, and benefits from very low local crime and excellent mobile signal.
Space is limited: total floor area is about 426 sq ft and the layout suits a single occupant, couple, first-time buyer or downsizer. The cottage has solid brick walls with assumed no insulation, and broadband speeds are average — energy upgrade opportunities exist but may require work and expense. The compact kitchen and courtyard garden reflect the home’s modest scale.
Location is a strong selling point. Shops, schools and village amenities are within walking distance, Hemel Hempstead and Berkhamsted are nearby for wider shopping, and rail links to London are convenient. Overall this is a characterful, low-maintenance village home with realistic scope to increase living space if planning approval is secured.
