3 Bedroom Semi-Detached House for sale in Hampshire

Jamaica Farm is an exclusive courtyard development of sympathetically converted period farm buildings, set in a rural location on the edge of St Mary Bourne and enjoying the character of its original agricultural heritage alongside attractive countryside surroundings. Number 8 occupies an enviable position on the edge of the development and is attractively constructed of whitewashed, mainly cob elevations beneath a slate roof. The well presented accommodation includes a good sized open plan sitting/dining room with fireplace and log burning stove, a separate garden room, fitted kitchen, small utility room and adjoining ground floor cloakroom. The first floor provides a characterful and well proportioned main bedroom, two further bedrooms and a bathroom with shower. A particular feature of the property is the private, southerly facing garden, which has been attractively landscaped and is predominantly level, with a terrace immediately behind the house and a larger split level terrace and raised deck along the rear boundary from where fabulous open views are enjoyed over the adjoining farmland. Despite its rural setting, the Bourne Valley Inn can be reached on foot via a footpath across the fields, providing an excellent local pub, while the village of St Mary Bourne offers a further highly regarded pub, a range of everyday amenities and a vibrant community. Jamaica Farm itself also benefits from a friendly and welcoming micro community that is greatly appreciated by its residents.
