Set within a well-kept retirement development in the heart of Watlington, this two-double-bedroom mid-terrace house offers an easy, low‑maintenance lifestyle for over‑55s. The south-facing sitting/dining room has French doors to a private paved patio and attractive communal gardens, creating a bright, calm living space. Private resident and visitor parking is available on site and a resident manager provides day‑to‑day support.
Internally the house is presented in good decorative order across an average-sized 670 sq ft layout: fitted kitchen, shower room and a cloakroom downstairs. The principal bedroom overlooks the landscaped gardens and both bedrooms are doubles, making the property comfortable for two people or occasional guests.
Important practical points are straightforward: the home is leasehold with approximately 86 years remaining, an annual service charge of about £2,000 (covers ground rent, insurance, on‑site manager and communal maintenance), and electric storage heating. The EPC is rated D and council tax band is C. These factors suit buyers seeking a well-managed retirement setting rather than a project property.
This location is convenient — a short, level walk to Watlington’s shops, cafes and community amenities, with countryside and walking routes nearby. The house will appeal to downsizers who prioritise a quiet, secure setting with communal upkeep in place, and who are comfortable with leasehold ownership and electric heating.
