Description - Believed to have been built in the 1600s, with evidence on mid-18th century maps that the cottage stood long before much of the rest of the village, there’s real character at this pretty pink home. History can be seen in exposed beams and brickwork, even a Box Moor Right of Pasture plaque. Since change of ownership in 2020, it’s been lovingly updated, retaining features and details and combining them with modern touches.
Stepping inside, the entrance opens into a flexible multi-use space, currently a dining area, but offering options as a separate snug, or as a generous entrance hall for hanging coats and welcoming guests. Tucked into the corner is the study, handy for homeworkers and secluded from activity.
The living accommodation turns left from the dining area into the lounge, and the herringbone hardwood flooring continues into here. The fireplace acts as a focal point, the log burner gives warmth, and the bow window affords natural light. An open staircase leads from the lounge to the landing.
To the back of the house is the kitchen, joined by a useful utility room. The kitchen is fitted in a timeless farmhouse style, with a range of storage to cream cabinetry, and ample surfacing to co-ordinating worktops. Integrated appliances include a gas hob with an extractor to one side, and an oven, grill and microwave to the other. There’s also a gap for a dishwasher in the kitchen, and further space for a fridge/freezer, a washing machine and a tumble dryer in the utility. The kitchen has the capacity for a breakfast table for casual morning coffees, keeping the dining area for family meals. There’s also a door onto the garden for taking dinner outside on warm days.
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, comprising two doubles and a single. Bedrooms one and two benefit from fitted wardrobes, while bedroom two has exposed floorboards, beams and brickwork. All three bedrooms share the family bathroom, which has a wc, a sink, and a bath with corner taps, a shower attachment and a folding screen. There’s a convenient cloakroom downstairs too.
Heading outside, the secluded garden is just as charming as the house, making for a delightful spot to spend the day come spring and summer. Laid out in an L shape and over two tiers, there’s a large full-width patio and a small pond on the lower level, with the upper mostly lawned. There are mature and well-stocked beds for the green-fingered, with a hardstanding for a shed and/or greenhouse for storing tools and sowing seeds.
To the front, there’s off-road parking on the block-paved driveway, with a garden area behind low fencing consisting of a lawn and more mature planting. It’s a quiet plot that both backs onto and faces trees (those in front are protected by TPOs).
On a country lane south of the village centre, in among fields and with a family-run nursery at each end, the location isn’t all flowers, forest and farmland. The address is particularly well placed for swift access into Hemel Hempstead and Berkhamsted, Chesham and Amersham, and for easy commuting into London. Hemel Hempstead has rail services into London via Euston in as little as 27 minutes, Chesham is on the Metropolitan line, and Bovingdon is within easy reach of the A41, M25 and M1. Both Heathrow and Luton airports are around half an hour away.
Bovingdon provides an array of amenities without need to venture into town, from shops and a Post Office, pubs and an off licence, butchers, a bakery and a sandwich bar, a barbers and a beauty salon, doctors, dentists and a pharmacy, as well as a takeaway and an Indian restaurant. There’s an Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ Montessori, nursery and primary academy, with further and independent schooling in surrounding areas, and plenty to keep adults and children alike entertained, from yoga and pilates, Scouts and Brownies, and a variety of sports clubs and classes.
Being on the outskirts of the Chiltern Hills and in a rural village position, you’re never far from a scenic walk, and what a spot to set off from and return to here at Long Lane Cottages.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on January 5, 2022
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
