The accommodation is tastefully presented with light and spacious rooms, including a wonderful sitting/dining room with an oak floor and a wood-burning stove. The well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room has painted beams and underfloor heating (please note there is a restricted ceiling height of 180cm / 5.11" in parts of the kitchen). It leads on to a playroom/study with French windows providing access to the sheltered rear garden. A spiral staircase from the playroom leads to a guest bedroom with a shower room.
Stairs from the sitting room lead to three further bedrooms with good built-in storage, a family bathroom and a shower room.
The enclosed front and rear gardens are wonderfully private and mainly laid to lawn with various trees and shrubs. There is a sheltered southwest-facing terrace to the front of the property, which is ideal for outdoor entertaining.
The property is approached via a five-bar gate leading to a gravel drive and oak-frame garage. A fantastic office to the rear is fully insulated and could be used as an annexe, subject to planning.
Squirrel Cottage sits on a small lane which sees little vehicular traffic. A footpath rises through the fields behind the house to the hamlet of Binley or back to a bridleway into the valley further down the lane by the livery stables. The Bourne Rivulet runs knee-deep beside the lane from spring to late summer and completes this idyllic setting. Gangbridge Lane lies on the upstream side of the desirable village of St Mary Bourne, which sits in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty approximately 6 miles northeast of Andover.
St Mary Bourne has a very active community, including a primary school, church, village hall, doctors' surgery and well-regarded pub, The George. The shop has a post office and café and overlooks the cricket club.
Communications are excellent, with mainline stations at Whitchurch and Andover providing access to London Waterloo in about an hour and slightly less from Newbury to Paddington. The A303, M3 and M4 are all within easy driving distance, and the commercial centres of Andover, Winchester, Newbury and Basingstoke are all within a 30-minute drive.
The well-regarded village school is a short walk from the cottage. Other popular schools in the area include Farleigh, Thorngrove, Godolphin and Winchester College.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on June 11, 2022
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
