A delightful end-of-terrace Victorian cottage occupying a quiet traffic-free setting in a private road close to the town centre.
The property has an attractive rendered façade with solid oak windows and is adorned with a mature Wisteria.
The interior has been enhanced by significant improvement works over the years including an upgrade of the interior fittings and finishes and a rear extension providing a large open-plan comprehensively fitted Miele kitchen and dining area with Victorian stove.
A cosy sitting room with wood-burning stove leads through to a large open plan kitchen with dedicated dining area. On the first floor the room arrangements have been skilfully altered to provide two double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes and bathroom.
A further recent undertaking has been the construction of a custom built contemporary styled studio/office with glazed bi-fold facade that now occupies the bottom of the garden.
The garden is enclosed by close-boarded fencing and incorporates a large deck, shaped lawn with wooden planters and a water feature.
Watlington is reputedly England’s smallest town with its origins dating from the 6th century.

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.

Watlington is also the heartland of the re-introduced Red Kite that now soar above the town’s roof tops.
The garden is enclosed by close-boarded fencing. A deck extends from the rear of the cottage to an area of lawn with wood framed planters and water feature. The Studio/Office and garden store lie to the rear.
