Semi-detached house for sale in Gorwell, Watlington OX49

A semi-detached 3 bedroom Edwardian cottage requiring updating quietly situated in the centre of the town with sizeable garden and private parking bay

Tenure : Freehold

Description:

An attractive bay-fronted semi-detached Edwardian three-bedroom cottage occupying a quiet setting in the centre of the town with generous garden and off-road parking. The cottage has much character and appears to be well-maintained but it does require updating and therefore presents an opportunity to adapt and fit it to the buyer’s own requirements.

There are also thought to be opportunities to extend the accommodation, subject to obtaining the necessary planning and building consents. A sizeable garden lies to the rear and there is also a private parking bay fronting the property.

The quiet but central location of the cottage ensures that the majority of shops and facilities in the town are less than a three-minute walk from the property.

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.
