Built in 2022 and finished to a high standard, this substantial four-bedroom detached house sits on a very large private plot in the peaceful Test Valley village of Houghton. The ground floor flows well for family life and entertaining: a separate sitting room with fireplace and French doors, a study, an impressive open-plan kitchen/dining room and a bright garden room that opens onto sandstone patios and the west-facing landscaped garden. Underfloor heating served by an air-source heat pump keeps running costs lower than oil or gas alternatives.
The principal bedroom includes a dressing area and ensuite, and a second bedroom also benefits from an ensuite; two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the first floor. Practical extras include a utility room with WC, gated driveway and a detached double car barn with log store. Broadband is fast (FTTC) and the house is in an affluent, low-crime village with good primary schools nearby and easy access to Stockbridge and country walks along the Test.
Notable factual points: the property is freehold with an EPC rating B and was constructed recently, but it sits on a shared sewerage treatment plant and incurs a service charge of £1,000 per year. Council Tax is Band F (relatively expensive). Mobile signal is average. These are important for budgeting and connectivity considerations for some buyers.
This home will suit families or professionals seeking a modern, roomy village house with large outdoor space and strong rural leisure appeal. It offers immediate move-in condition with scope to personalise garden and interior finishes to taste.
