Comfortable single-storey living in a well-kept retirement development close to Watlington High Street. This one-bedroom end-terrace bungalow offers a south-facing reception room overlooking landscaped communal gardens, a fitted kitchen and a ground-floor shower room — all arranged within approximately 404 sq ft for easy, low-maintenance living.

The property benefits from UPVC double glazing and a sensible, traditional layout suitable for someone looking to downsize or seeking a secure, manageable home in a small town setting.

Important practical points are straightforward: heating is by electric storage heaters (no communal heating), and the property is leasehold with approximately 85 years remaining. The relatively short lease length will need attention and likely renewal sooner rather than later. The service charge is approximately £2,000 per annum and covers ground rent, insurance, general maintenance, garden upkeep and the on-site manager.
Overall, this is a quiet, well-presented retirement bungalow that suits a single occupant or couple seeking easy-access, central village living. Buyers should factor in the lease length and running costs (service charge and electric heating) when assessing long-term value and affordability.
