House For Sale £1,595,000
A most impressive five double bedroom detached family home, occupying a tucked away position within magnificent grounds of almost one and a half acres and surrounded by open countryside, much of which is Box Moor Trust land. The property is conveniently placed for Bovingdon village, Berkhamsted and the mainline railway station in Boxmoor, which offers a regular service into London Euston in just over 30 minutes.
Upper Dodds was built in the 1930’s and sympathetically enlarged in the 1970’s to become a substantial family home with accommodation and garaging of 3145 square feet.
The feeling character and space becomes immediately apparent via the entrance hall which provides access to all other parts of the property. The principle accommodation includes an elegant sitting room which has an impressive inglenook fireplace and French doors leading to the rear garden. There’s a spacious family room which has access to the rear garden and a conservatory with views and further access to the rear garden via the patio. The kitchen has views over the front and is semi open planned to the dining room and there’s a separate utility room.
The double aspect first floor landing provides access to all other rooms including the master bedroom suite with an en suite bathroom and a roof terrace overlooking the rear garden. There are four further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The property has gas central heating to radiators and is on mains drainage.
Upper Dodds is approached via a long sweeping drive and is very well set back from the road within its own mature grounds with fields to the side and rear. There’s generous parking which includes a garage and a double carport. The gardens extend from the front via the side to the rear which has a large patio, lawns and a tennis court.<br /><br />Bovingdon is a thriving village which is well equipped with shops including a post office, restaurants and a couple of good pubs. The village has a primary school which is rated by Ofsted as outstanding and there are other preferred schools nearby including Ley Hill Primary, Chesham Preparatory School and Chesham Grammar.
The nearby towns of Berkhamsted, Hemel Hempstead and Chesham offer more extensive facilities including a mainline railway service into London (Euston) and the Metropolitan Line from Chesham into Baker Street or by changing at Little Chalfont, London (Marylebone). There are also close transport links to both the M25 and M1.
