St. Mary Bourne, Andover, Hampshire, SP11

3 Bedroom Detached House for sale in Hampshire

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.
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.
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.
