Cobbett Square, Bordon, GU35

For a young family rooted locally, or a couple wanting space to grow into, this house makes everyday life feel straightforward.

It sits in Cobbett Square on the new Heritage development in Bordon, looking straight out over the green and the park beyond. That outlook changes the rhythm of the day. School mornings feel calmer. There’s space to breathe before you’ve even left the front door. Bordon Infants, Bordon Juniors and Oakmoor are all just minutes away, and you’re within easy reach of the High Street for coffee at The Dairy or supper at The Barn Owl or The Ball and Wicket.

Inside, the house unfolds over three floors, and it’s been lived in properly. Not staged. The living/dining room is where everything seems to gravitate. Toys on the floor. Paw Patrol in the background. A cup of tea first thing. In warmer months, the French doors stay open and the garden becomes an extra room. Because the house faces the green and the plot is slightly wider than many around it, it feels more private than you might expect for a modern town house.

The kitchen handles the daily pace well. Breakfasts, quick meals, coffee on repeat. It’s separate from the living space but close enough that conversation carries.

Up on the first floor are two genuine double bedrooms. One has been a bright child’s room with a lovely view of the square; the other works well as a guest room or a quiet working from home space. The Jack and Jill bathroom between them is practical and easy for day-to-day family life.

The top floor is a different mood altogether. The principal bedroom runs from front to back, with an ensuite shower room and space for a dressing area and even a desk if needed. It’s consistently warm in winter and feels tucked away from the rest of the house. A proper retreat at the end of the day.

Being a 2019 build, insulation is strong and running costs are reasonable. Modern gas central heating serves the whole house and keeps temperatures even throughout. Water pressure is very good. There’s fast fibre broadband and reliable mobile signal, so working from home is straightforward whether you choose the back bedroom or the top floor.

Outside, the garden is simple and usable. Patio for morning coffee or summer evenings. Lawn for play. It gets sun from early morning into the afternoon depending on the season, and it’s enclosed enough to feel safe for children and relaxed for adults. Lavender and box planting attract wildlife, and there’s space to add more landscaping if you’re that way inclined. Two allocated parking spaces sit to the front, with the option to install EV charging if needed.

What stands out here isn’t just the layout. It’s the view across the green and the sense of community that comes with it. This has been a first home, a place to return to with a newborn, a place where neighbours nod and children play opposite.

That’s the part that’s hardest to leave.
