4 bed detached house for sale

Springfield Close, Watlington OX49

This individual and well-presented detached family house occupies a quiet setting that is no more than a five-minute walk from the town centre. The house was built in 1991 and benefits from a generous plot that provides a private driveway, attached garage and spacious garden. A large covered porch has been added since the house was built but we believe there to be further opportunities to extend and enhance the accommodation, subject to planning and building consents.

The accommodation is set around a central stairwell with an excellent arrangement of rooms providing family accommodation on two floors. There is a newly fitted open plan kitchen with adjacent utility room, two reception rooms, four bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms, including an en-suite with the master bedroom. A generous gated driveway delivers off-road parking and there is an attached garage and a spacious garden to the rear. The garage footprint may offer the opportunity to extend the living accommodation on two levels and a rear extension may also be possible.

EPC Rating: C

Watlington is a beautiful historic market town with easy access for commuters to London and Oxford via the Oxford tube at Lewknor, local train links and the M40. There is a vibrant and creative community, with independent and artisan shops. Along with three excellent pubs and local restaurants, there is a first-class butcher and delicatessen, the Orange Bakery selling delicious bread and baked goodies every Friday and Saturday, and The Undercroft Market, with locally sourced fruit, vegetables, flowers and plants. Art Week comes to Watlington for the sixth year in May 2025 with open studios and pop-up exhibitions in many of the local shops and businesses. For sporting enthusiasts, the town has a range of sports facilities that embrace football and cricket as well as tennis, squash and bowls. 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. With wonderful walks on the doorstep and The Icknield Way (Ridgeway National Trail) passing close to the town, there is much on offer for outdoor enthusiasts, cyclists and walkers.
