A detached and generously proportioned Edwardian family house quietly situated in the centre of Watlington with a substantial garden now requiring modernisation

Tenure : Freehold -

Description: - This detached Edwardian house occupies a large and quietly positioned plot of about 0.16 acre in the centre of the town. Although the house appears to be well-maintained it does require updating and as such represents an excellent opportunity to create a home to the buyers specification.

Large, well-lit rooms are a feature of this property and there is the possibility of further extending the accommodation, subject to obtaining the necessary planning and building consents. Arranged on two floors there are three generous reception rooms as well as a substantial family kitchen whilst on the first floor all the bedrooms are double sized and most have an attractive open outlook.

A substantial south-facing garden lies to the rear and flank of the property together with a garage, workshop and store.

Watcombe Road has unadopted status and provides a quiet and attractive setting for a wide variety of cottages and houses, just a short walk from Watlington High Street.

Watlington - Watlington is reputedly England’s smallest town with its origins dating from the 6th century. The town has a range of sports facilities that embrace football and cricket as well as tennis, squash and bowls.

There are good local shops including a first class butcher and delicatessen and some excellent restaurants and pubs. Watlington Primary school and Rainbow Corner day nursery and pre-school have an ‘outstanding’ ofsted rating and senior education is provided by the well-regarded Icknield Community College.

The Chiltern Hills rise above the town and offer some of the finest landscapes in south-east England. There is much on offer here for outdoor enthusiasts, cyclists and walkers as The Icknield Way (Ridgeway National Trail) passes close to the town. Watlington is also the heartland of the re-introduced Red Kite that now soar above the town’s roof tops.
