This attractive early-Victorian two-bedroom cottage sits on a quiet central street in Watlington, offering compact, characterful living with immediate move-in potential. The sitting room retains period proportions and a wood-burning stove that creates a warm, welcoming focal point, while an open-plan kitchen/diner provides a practical social hub for cooking and entertaining.
Outside, a south‑west facing rear garden maximises afternoon and evening sun; the small, part-walled plot is low-maintenance and privately tucked away. Being chain-free and within a short walk of independent shops, cafés and services, the house is especially convenient for those seeking a town-centre base with excellent local amenities and good transport links.
The property is well presented for its age but modest in size (approximately 554 sq ft) and will suit buyers who prioritise location and character over large rooms or gardens. There is scope to improve thermal performance — the property has solid brick walls presumed uninsulated — so adding insulation and other efficiency upgrades would be sensible longer-term investments. Overall, it’s an appealing, compact home for first-time buyers or couples wanting a low‑maintenance, central Watlington cottage.
