Summary - SHANTOCK COTTAGE SHANTOCK LANE BOVINGDON HEMEL HEMPSTEAD HP3 0NG
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Rare large plot with planning for an extra 3-bed home — huge renovation and development potential.
Substantial plot just under two acres backing onto open farmland
This detached four-bedroom house occupies just under two acres of private land on the edge of Bovingdon, backing onto open farmland. The property is a substantial blank canvas: spacious rooms and an extensive plot give clear scope to remodel the existing home into a large kitchen-family space and a generous entrance hall, or to extend subject to permissions.
A rare development upside accompanies the plot: full planning permission (Ref: 24/01690/FUL) has been granted for a separate three-bedroom detached dwelling with car port and driveway (approx. 2,100 sqft). The consent includes removal of polytunnels, outbuildings and the side garage and creation of a separate gateway, creating two distinct homes and potential income or multi-generational living options.
Services and site features support versatile uses: three-phase electricity, mains water and a bore hole provide strong utility resilience for farming, equestrian or home-business uses. The location is very quiet with very low crime, fast broadband and good nearby schools, but it is essentially a hamlet/isolated setting so daily amenities require a short drive.
The property requires modernisation throughout and will suit buyers seeking renovation opportunity, extended family accommodation or a developer-investor prepared to realise the approved additional dwelling. Important negatives to note: the existing house needs sympathetic renovation, several outbuildings remain on site pending removal, and the rural location means limited immediate services on foot.
