The Orchards, Stockbridge, SO20

Description

This modern three-bedroom home is in the Hampshire village of Houghton, on land that was once the orchard of a country house. Built in 2018, the small development has handsome timber-clad buildings set in mature, well-kept landscaping, giving it a contemporary feel that suits its rural setting.

The house is designed for efficient, low-cost living. An air source heat pump and underfloor heating throughout keep it warm sustainably. The living area opens through wide doors straight onto a south-facing garden, so it’s light all day and moves easily between inside and out in the warmer months.

Houghton is a quiet village that runs along the banks of the River Test. Two well-known walking routes, the Test Way and the Clarendon Way, meet in the village, and. Village life centres on the historic All Saints Church, the village hall and recreation ground, and the Boot Inn, whose garden runs down to the river.

Stockbridge is under two miles away, with independent shops, cafés, restaurants and day-to-day amenities. Winchester, Romsey and Salisbury are all within easy reach. It’s an ideal setting for anyone who want peaceful countryside living in one of Hampshire’s most beautiful valleys.
