About
VIDEO. A charming four bedroom detached period cottage in a highly desirable position on Church Street within the Bovingdon Conservation Area. NO CHAIN.
Berry Cottage is a delightful home with a strong sense of character and individuality.
Believed to date from around 1850, the property was thoughtfully extended in 1977-78, creating a pleasing combination of period character and practical living space.
The extension has allowed the house to evolve sympathetically while retaining the warmth, charm and individuality of its period origins, resulting in a home that feels both welcoming and versatile.
The ground floor centres around a welcoming reception/living room, where an open fire creates a natural focal point and adds warmth and character.
A separate dining room provides an inviting setting for both everyday meals and entertaining, while the kitchen/breakfast room offers a practical and sociable space for day to day living.
A cloakroom completes this level. Upstairs, the accommodation comprises four bedrooms, including a versatile bedroom/study that offers useful flexibility as a home office, bedroom or dressing room.
The remaining bedrooms are well proportioned, with the principal bedroom providing a comfortable and inviting retreat. Two bathrooms complete the first floor accommodation.
Outside, the property enjoys a private side garden, with a patio area providing an appealing setting for outdoor dining, relaxing and entertaining.
A double garage with parking for one car in front, provides valuable off road parking and generous storage or workshop space.
