Summary - Chesham Road, Bovingdon, HP3 HP3 0NP
2 bed 1 bath Cottage
Historic two-bedroom cottage with large walled garden and build potential (stpp).
Grade II listed 1717 cottage with original period features
This Grade II listed two-bedroom cottage dates to circa 1717 and combines genuine period character with substantial outside space. Set behind a gated entrance, the property occupies approximately a quarter acre for the house plus two additional parcels of land (sold with the cottage) that together extend the total holding to around one third of an acre. Interior highlights include an inglenook-style feature fireplace, generous reception rooms and original features throughout.
The mature, walled gardens are a standout — landscaped, low-maintenance and designed for privacy with winding paths, a pond and well-established hedging. There is off-street parking and two garages, making the house practical for daily family life or for buyers wanting secure storage. One extra parcel is currently used as a dog play area; the other offers potential to build subject to planning permission (stpp).
Important practical notes: the property’s Grade II listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate any extension or rebuilds. The house and land are sold on three separate titles which could affect transactions and future development. Broadband speeds are very slow locally and council tax is high — both factors buyers should factor into running costs.
This home will suit buyers seeking period character, generous outdoor space and development potential rather than those wanting a turnkey, modernised property. It’s an appealing prospect for families wanting village life near quality schools, downsizers seeking a charismatic home with low-maintenance gardens, or investors with the patience to navigate listed-status constraints and pursue planning on the additional parcels.
