Description:

This detached chalet bungalow occupies an enviable semi-rural setting at the end of a residential cul de sac with a south-facing outlook onto meadows and views beyond to the Chilterns. There are gardens to both front and rear together with ample off-road parking and a garage. Whilst occupying this quiet setting the house is no more than a seven minute walk from the shops and facilities of Watlington High Street. The house is well presented and has versatile accommodation that offers up to 4 bedrooms. A modern fitted kitchen with dining area sits alongside a south-facing reception room with fireplace and a large picture window that provides extended views across the neighbouring meadows. It is worth noting that the size and disposition of the plot presents opportunities to extend the property to the flank and rear, subject to obtaining the required consents.

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.
