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.
