A stunning 4 bedroom house with a double car barn & log store and a superb westerly garden with views in all approaching 1/4 acre.

5 Houghton Farm Close is a traditional detached red brick 4 bedroom house, set in a very quiet area of the village. It presents an appealing appearance whilst offering all the advantages and convenience of a modern house set in a large plot with landscaped garden and a detached double car barn with log store. The carefully considered layout on the ground floor provides a study, a separate living room with feature fireplace and French doors opening out to the garden at the rear and an impressive open plan kitchen and dining room leading on to a garden room which provides a more relaxed family area. The principal bedroom has an en suite shower room with built in dressing area wardrobes. There are 3 further double bedrooms (one also en suite) and a family bathroom.

Outside
The garden/plot area is very generous and enjoys a westerly aspect. To the front of the house is a gated driveway with a fine 2 bay open car barn with log store. There are riven sandstone patio areas on 2 sides of the house which are ideal for entertaining as they interconnect the principal reception rooms. The boundaries are delineated by the fine rendered brick wall, close board and post and wire fencing.

Location
The charming village of Houghton, renowned for its acclaimed fishing club, sits in the picturesque rural setting of the Test Valley. With many country pursuits on the doorstep from fishing on the River Test to walking the historic Clarendon Way and Test Way there are many activities on offer. The village has a pub, a church and village hall whilst the nearby town of Stockbridge, 2 miles to the north, offers other amenities which include restaurants, shops, schools, as well as a doctor’s surgery.

The next steps...

Establish funds

How will you fund the purchase?

Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.

Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.

To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.

Remember that having a 'mortgage decision in principle' can make you a more attractive buyer when you make an offer on a property. Contact our mortgage advisers for free, no obligation and impartial advice.

Some advantages of a broker are:

They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.

However advantages of working with your bank are:

You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.

If other offers have been made on a property we aren't legally able to tell you what they are, but we may indicate if they were close to the asking price.
