Three further double bedrooms, a family bathroom, and an additional shower room complete the first floor. A secondary staircase rises from the rear of the house to a self-contained area, currently arranged as two bedrooms and a shower room, perfect as an annexe for extended family, guests, or staff. The second floor offers three generously sized double bedrooms, all serviced by a family bathroom with separate shower. From the main entrance hall, a staircase descends to the lower ground floor, where you'll find three well-appointed cellar rooms, currently configured as a wine store, bar, and gym, plus a cloakroom. Nestled on a beautifully landscaped plot of approximately 0.88 acres, Bovingdon Lodge enjoys complete privacy in a semi-rural setting. The garden, impeccably maintained, forms a stunning backdrop to the home, with a large terrace perfect for outdoor entertaining. A majestic Sequoia tree and ornamental pond add to the picturesque atmosphere, while several seating areas provide tranquil spaces to enjoy the surroundings. The property is accessed through electric gates, flanked by mature hedging that frames the dramatic approach. A detached double garage and ample driveway parking complete the offering.
