This unmodernised, detached bungalow occupies an attractive setting within a five-minute walk of the town centre. Occupying a generous plot the property offers ample off-road parking and a large garden to the rear from which there are some wonderful views over the adjacent meadows to the Chiltern escarpment beyond. Although extended at an earlier date, providing a large double reception room across the full width of the property, there is still opportunity to remodel and upgrade the accommodation adding value and creating a home to personal specifications.
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.
The property is accessed via a generous driveway that provides ample off-road parking, and is concealed from the road via a mature evergreen screen. A car-port provides covered parking to the approach to the front door.
A sizeable garden lies to the rear extending to some 90'. From the rear of the garden there are some outstanding views across the meadows to the Chiltern escarpment. The garden is mainly laid to grass but has planted areas that include a number of evergreen trees. A patio lies to the rear with a greenhouse alongside.
