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 and plot are particularly generous, enjoying a desirable westerly aspect and wraparound gardens that provide both privacy and versatility. To the front of the property is a gated driveway, equipped with an electric vehicle charging point and leading to an attractive twobay open car barn with log store. Riven sandstone patio areas extend to two sides of the house, ideal for outdoor entertaining and thoughtfully positioned to interconnect the principal reception rooms. The boundaries are well defined by a combination of rendered brick walling, closeboard fencing, and postandwire fencing.
