A RECENTLY BUILT DETACHED HOUSE FEATURING BEAUTIFULLY PRESENTED LIGHT AND AIRY ACCOMMODATION WITH MODERN OPEN PLAN LIVING, LANDSCAPED GARDEN, GARAGE / WORKSHOP AND OFF ROAD PARKING, SET BACK FROM THE ROAD IN A QUIET POSITION WITHIN THIS HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER VILLAGE<br/><br/>The Bourne Valley within the North Wessex Downs – An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty<br/><br/> Rhubarb Cottage is a rare find: a high specification detached home completed in 2022, set quietly back from the road in the heart of St Mary Bourne - the surrounding streets are defined by period cottages and thatched houses within the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty - and the property has been designed to sit comfortably within that character while offering every modern comfort.<br/>The ground floor is built around light and sociability. An expansive open plan living, dining and kitchen space flows through full height folding doors onto a cottage garden, making indoor-outdoor entertaining entirely natural. The vaulted dining ceiling and valley views from the living room give the space a sense of occasion; the kitchen, with its polished quartz surfaces and integrated appliances, is equally considered.<br/>Upstairs, the principal bedroom features its own vaulted ceiling and en-suite shower room, with two further well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom completing the first floor. Throughout, the finish is consistently high: porcelain tiled floors, oak detailing, and a turning staircase with glass balustrades. The property benefits from the balance remaining on its LABC build warranty and an EPC rating of B - a home that is as well built as it is well appointed.<br/><br/>The property is situated in the village of St Mary Bourne, renowned for its many period houses and cottages and the surrounding undulating countryside. The village has a primary school, doctor’s surgery, church, modern village hall, a Post Office, café and shop, car garage and two popular public houses. An excellent rail service to Waterloo - ideal for commuters - is available from Whitchurch, about three miles distant. The nearby towns of Andover (about five miles) and Newbury also offer fast mainline rail services to Waterloo and Paddington respectively, together with a comprehensive range of shopping, educational and leisure facilities. The cathedral city of Winchester is approximately twenty minutes’ drive away. The A34 and A303 roads and M3 and M4 motorways are all within easy reach.
