A well-presented extended semi-detached family home with sizeable south-facing garden, detached timber framed double garage and off-road parking occupying an attractive residential road in the centre of Watlington. The house is set back from the road behind a tree-lined frontage and private front garden. A driveway alongside provides ample off-road parking and access to a recently built double garage/workshop. A single-storey extension to the rear provides a large open-plan space that serves well as a family room and connects the sitting room and fitted kitchen with the south-facing garden via two sets of French doors. There are three bedrooms, two of which are double-sized with a south-facing aspect over the garden. There is a seperate, generously sized utility room and a cloakroom on the ground floor.
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.
