4 bedroom link detached house

Tucked away in a peaceful corner of a cul-de-sac and overlooking the green, this superb four-bedroom link-detached home offers the perfect blend of village charm, generous living space and modern finishes. Built by David Wilson Homes in the 1970s and lovingly maintained by the current owners for the past 12 years, this property on Chapel Close is an ideal choice for families looking to settle in the popular village of Houghton on the Hill.

Step Inside

The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall, complete with a handy guest WC, cloaks cupboard, and stairs rising to the first floor.

To the left, the bright and stylish living room features a bay window framing lovely views of the green. The room itself is a great size, making it ideal for a variety of furniture layouts. Glazed double doors connect seamlessly to the kitchen/diner, making it perfect for both everyday living and entertaining.

The Heart of the Home

The open-plan kitchen/diner has been thoughtfully reconfigured and refitted to create a modern and sociable space. Shaker-style units, a central island with breakfast bar, and a range of integrated appliances (electric oven, grill, hob, fridge, dishwasher and washing machine) offer both form and function. French doors lead out to the garden, while a side door provides easy access from the driveway—ideal for bringing in the shopping. There’s ample space for a six-seat dining table too.

Upstairs Living

Upstairs, the home offers four well-proportioned bedrooms.

• The principal bedroom is a generous double with fitted wardrobes and views to the front.

• Bedroom two is another double, currently set up as a twin, with a view over the rear garden.

• Bedroom three sits above the carport and also enjoys front-facing views.

• Bedroom four is currently used as a laundry/store room, but easily adaptable as a home office, nursery, or hobby room if desired.

The family bathroom has been stylishly refitted with a modern white suite, shower over the bath, vanity basin, and hidden cistern WC. Sleek grey tiling and herringbone flooring add a contemporary touch.

Outside Space

To the front, a lawned garden and shared gravel driveway lead under the carport to a single garage. There’s off-road parking for up to three vehicles, with potential to extend the parking area if needed.

The rear garden is private, easy to maintain, and southeast-facing—perfect for morning coffee and afternoon sun. A patio seating area flows onto a level lawn, with steps leading to a raised gravelled terrace at the rear—ideal for summer BBQs or evening drinks.
