Jennifer Lawrence and boyfriend Nicholas Hoult are set to move in together.

The American actress and her X Men co-star are reportedly searching for their first home and have put in an offer for a seven-bedroom barn conversion near Hook, a village in Hampshire, close to where Nicholas's family live.

"They loved the house as soon as they saw it. They know it's not realistic at this point in their thriving careers to live in the UK, but they want a bolthole across the pond. Jen loves the English way of life and as they are now serious again, it makes sense to look into buying somewhere," a source said.

The couple, who have been dating on and off for three years, viewed the $2.1 million property while visiting Nicholas's family in nearby Berkshire over Christmas and also spent the day checking out the area, including local pubs and restaurants.
