The Bower House is an important and imposing country home of Georgian origin with later additions. It is beautifully situated in its own secluded grounds and gardens including garaging, outbuildings and an indoor swimming pool, in all about 5.5 acres. The oldest part of the house is believed to date back to pre 1749 with later Edwardian and modern extensions. The current owners have lovingly maintained the house and retained the beautiful original features, the large sash windows of particular note. The substantial accommodation is arranged over two floors and includes a large open plan kitchen/dining room with a wonderful four oven Aga, four large reception rooms, a cellar, utility room, six spacious bedrooms and five bath/shower rooms. The gardens and grounds are a most important feature of this family home with the house standing well back from the road in a parkland setting. EPC Rating D.



The Setting    Occupying a central position within the exceptionally pretty village of Clavering, The Bower House is surrounded by beautiful countryside and an abundance of listed buildings. The house is within easy reach of all that Clavering has to offer including two fantastic village pubs, a large Nisa grocery store, village greens including a cricket pitch with a thatched pavilion at Upper Hill Green, a parish church beside the remains of Clavering Castle and the primary school. The market towns of Saffron Walden & Bishop's Stortford are approximately 8 miles away respectively and there are mainline train stations nearby at Newport (4 miles) and Audley End (5 miles).

Ground Floor Accommodation    The accommodation is well planned with rooms of good proportions and modern good quality fixtures and fittings. On the ground floor an elegant front door with canopy leads to a large reception hall with a feature bay window and doors leading off to the main reception rooms, kitchen/dining room, utility and WC. The kitchen is a beautiful space with a feature bay window to the front including seating and storage, a large island, four oven oil fired Aga and separate electric oven with two ring gas hob over, an integrated full height fridge including small freezer compartment and space for a dishwasher. The kitchen flows nicely through to the modern part of the home which has wonderful views across the gardens, a large open living area with a shower room, excellent storage, a pantry and under floor heating. There is a door which leads outside to the detached indoor 10m resistance swimming pool which is heated via a separate gas fired boiler and complete with an electric pool cover.

First Floor Accommodation    On the first floor there is a lovely wide and spacious landing with open balustrade, study area and a large sash window, with six bedrooms and a family bathroom leading off. The large principle bedroom suite is stunning with the character of old and new combined. The bedroom area has a feature bay window and the large en-suite has a bath, separate shower, dressing area with a large range of wardrobes and under floor heating. The additional five spacious bedrooms are well laid out and benefit from two en-suite shower rooms and a family bathroom.

Outside    A wide gravelled driveway passes a range of weatherboarded garages/outbuildings and sweeps around the front gardens leading to the house. The garden at the front on the East side is laid to lawn with flower beds, a magnificent Wellingtonia, other trees and Yew hedging. There is a large terrace with a South Westerly aspect to the side of the house with immaculate lawns and a managed wild garden beyond. The majority of the 5.5 acres is behind the house and mainly laid to lawn with further outbuildings and an abundance of trees creating a parkland feel. It is a beautiful environment.
