A rare opportunity to acquire this unique detached former cart house and stables, beautifully converted to provide versatile accommodation extending across two separate buildings. Situated along a picturesque country lane close to Bovingdon Green and the highly sought-after Village of Bovingdon, the property enjoys excellent access to local shops, amenities, well-regarded schooling and beautiful countryside walks, while both Hemel Hempstead and Chesham stations offer direct rail links into London. Combining period character with contemporary finishes and exceptional flexibility, this distinctive home is ideally suited to multi-generational living, guest accommodation, home-working or buyers seeking income potential, subject to the necessary consents.<br/><br/>The principal residence, originally the hay store and cart shed, centres around a stunning open-plan kitchen dining sitting room that beautifully showcases the building's heritage. This impressive triple-aspect living space features vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, creating a bright yet characterful environment ideal for modern living and entertaining. The recently refitted kitchen is fitted with an attractive range of sage green wall and floor-mounted units, complemented by oak-effect work surfaces, integrated appliances, underfloor heating and a traditional stable style door.<br/><br/>An inner hallway provides access to the private rear garden and leads to two generous double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The impressive principal bedroom enjoys a dual aspect, built-in wardrobes, vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, while the second bedroom offers a peaceful front aspect. The bathroom is fitted in a traditional style with a roll-top bath, separate shower cubicle, wash hand basin and WC, complemented by tiled walls and flooring.<br/><br/>The private southerly facing rear garden has been designed for ease of maintenance and provides an attractive space for outside entertaining and relaxation, with a paved patio, artificial lawn, outside lighting and an external water tap. A generous gravel parking area provides off-road parking for several vehicles, with a vehicle right of way serving the property to the rear.<br/><br/>Formerly the original brick-built stables, the second building offers four spacious double bedrooms, each with its own private entrance and en-suite shower room. This exceptionally flexible accommodation presents a wealth of possibilities, including multi-generational living, guest accommodation, home office suites or, subject to the necessary planning permissions, the opportunity to create a separate dwelling with its own garden area.<br/><br/>Each bedroom within the stables benefits from vaulted ceilings and an en-suite shower room comprising a shower cubicle, wash hand basin and WC. A useful storage room houses the recently installed gas central heating boiler.<br/><br/>Properties of this nature are seldom available, offering a unique blend of period charm, flexible living accommodation and future potential. With generous parking, countryside surroundings and excellent commuter links, this is an exceptional opportunity for a wide range of buyers. Viewing is highly recommended.
