Living in Squirrel Cottage has been a true joy, with the kitchen quickly becoming our favourite spot. We completely reimagined it in 2017, transforming it into a modern and practical
space with underfloor heating that makes cooking a pleasure. The sitting room, unusually spacious for a cottage, is another highlight. Its light-filled expanse is perfect for hosting parties,
especially during the festive season. The separate office has been a lifesaver for working from home, and the expansive loft above the garage offers invaluable storage space.What truly sets Squirrel Cottage apart is its unique features that blend charm and practicality. The thatched porch offers a warm, sheltered welcome, while the guest room, with its own
private staircase, provides an ideal space for visitors or even an Airbnb setup. The flow of the downstairs layout is seamless, making the home both inviting and functional.The surrounding outdoor spaces have greatly enriched our lives. The garden, which wraps around the house, is a private sanctuary, bordered by a mature beech hedge. It's the perfect
place for quiet relaxation, yet still connected enough to chat with passing neighbours. Backing onto fields, the garden feels like an extension of the countryside, offering peace and
seclusion. We've hosted many memorable gatherings here, including a lively summer birthday party and festive Christmas drinks in the sitting room.St Mary Bourne has provided us with an incredible sense of community. From baby groups to cricket and yoga, there's something for everyone. The local amenities, including The George
Inn and the Boundary Community Shop, make daily life convenient and enjoyable. The school run couldn't be easier, with the primary school just down the lane. Living here has given
our family the ideal country life, and I would encourage the next owner to take a stroll up the footpath behind the house and soak in the view of Squirrel Cottage nestled in the beautiful
Bourne Valley. It's a sight that perfectly captures the charm and tranquillity of this wonderful home.Accomodation:Welcome to Squirrel Cottage, the epitome of British countryside living, where you can cycle to school along a country lane, splash in the stream opposite on a hot summer's day, start a roaring fire on a snowy night and kick through the leaves on the footpath up to the fields beyond the house.If you are searching for an idyllic and peaceful lifestyle, with a pub, cafe and shop in a thriving village, and yet still be incredibly well connected to Winchester, Newbury and London (via Whitchurch), then this is your dream house.With a huge main sitting room, four lovely bedrooms, three beautiful modern bathrooms, a superb kitchen with underfloor heating, a fab office with super useful storage loft above and a great garage, Squirrel Cottage has it all.
