3 Bedroom Detached House

Houghton is a charming Test Valley village lying around two miles south of Stockbridge. Positioned on the banks of the River Test and surrounded by open countryside, it offers a peaceful rural setting while remaining well connected to Romsey, Salisbury and Winchester. The village benefits from a popular riverside pub and restaurant, a church, a village hall and a recreation ground. Houghton is particularly well known for its network of footpaths and riverside walks, with both the Test Way and the Clarendon Way passing through the area and providing access to some of the finest scenery in the valley. A wider range of amenities is available in nearby Stockbridge, which offers a selection of independent shops, cafés and restaurants, along with a Post Office, medical facilities, churches and schooling at both primary and secondary levels. Educational options in the surrounding area include a choice of well-regarded state and independent schools. Salisbury and Winchester, both historic cathedral cities, can be reached in approximately twenty minutes by car and provide mainline rail services. Additional rail connections are available from Dunbridge, located less than five miles to the south. Local points of interest include Houghton Lodge & Gardens and the National Trust’s Mottisfont Abbey.
