23 Watcombe Road is a detached Victorian home with generous rooms and a large private garden, offered with no onward chain. Set back from the road in the heart of Watlington, the house sits within easy walking distance of the independent high street, local cafes, and excellent schools — a practical base for family life at the edge of the Chilterns.
The ground floor provides a double-aspect sitting room with a gas fireplace, separate dining room, kitchen with utility and cloakroom, while upstairs are three bedrooms and a single family bathroom. The property has scope for extension, subject to planning permission, and the generous footprint invites reconfiguration to create more open-plan living or an additional bathroom.
This house requires modernisation throughout: the interior needs updating and the solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, so buyers should budget for refurbishment and energy improvements. Council Tax is above average. For buyers wanting character and space in a sought-after market town, the combination of off-street parking, a substantial garden, and immediate access to the M40 makes this a compelling project with strong family appeal.
Offered freehold and chain-free, this is a rare opportunity to create a bespoke family home in a vibrant, commuter-friendly location. Practical viewing is recommended to understand the potential and required works.
