Bowling Alley, Oving, Buckinghamshire, HP22

DESCRIPTION
We believe the property dates back to 1829, and in the past was owned by the manor house in Oving and used as the chauffeurs residence. In 1871 a James Grove took ownership which is where we assume the title ?Grove House? originates. On the deeds Grove House received an improvement grant in 1955 and this is when we suspect an extension was added to the dwelling.

The elevations are brick and render under a slate roof with upvc double glazed windows. At the entrance is a porch, opening into the hall, with coat hanging space and benches including a shoe/boot store in the porch. The dining room is dual aspect and the old fireplace is currently disused but could be opened up again if so desired. The sitting room does though have a working fireplace and we are informed that beneath the carpet is parquet flooring. Again the room is dual aspect and double doors lead out to the garden. In the kitchen/breakfast room is a terracotta quarry tiled floor. The units are white ?shaker? style and there are granite effect worktops incorporating a one and a half bowl stainless steel sink. Plumbing is in situ for both a washing machine and dishwasher, and the old fireplace is blocked off at the moment. Cupboards are to the side of the chimney breast containing the hot water cylinder. The terracotta floor continues into an inner hall where an understairs broom cupboard and the old pantry can be found.
Upstairs are three double bedrooms, two have cast iron fireplaces and in one of those two is a walk-in wardrobe. The bathroom has a white suite of wc, wash basin with vanity cupboard, and a corner bath. The separate tiled cubicle is equipped with a ?Triton? shower.

OUTSIDE
At the front are walls and a five-bar gate and hand gate. A driveway extends up to the garage and a path takes you to the back door. Off the utility room is the patio, covered be a timber frame awning, and then a private lawn with a mature apple tree and flower beds. Adjacent to the garage is a carport and adjacent the carport a greenhouse.

The garage is detached and brick construction beneath a slate roof. There is a loft, a workshop area, and power and light connected.
