Description

A lovely detached Edwardian family home of much character with generous garden and outbuilding close to the centre of Watlington

Tenure : Freehold -

Description: - A handsome and imposing detached Edwardian house thought to have been built for a local doctor and his family around 1920. The current owners of the house have been here since 1985 during which time they refurbished and remodelled the interior for modern family living. The accommodation is extensive and extends to almost 4,000 square feet overall including four reception rooms and five bedrooms. Apart from the house itself there is a detached oak framed outbuilding that provides a workshop, logstore and first floor studio. A wide driveway lies alongside with the south-facing garden adjacent and this wraps around the west elevation of the house where there is a kitchen garden.

The interior is very appealing and distinguished by the large well-lit rooms with generous ceiling heights, most of which overlook the garden with a south-facing aspect. The cosy sitting room with wood burning stove is in the centre of the house with access to the gardens. This room is flanked by the drawing room and dining room, which lie to either side. A large family kitchen has a double aspect with sizeable utility room alongside and there is a family room, also with fireplace.

The first floor offers five double bedrooms, three of which enjoy the fine outlook over the garden. Three bath/shower rooms are alongside. A large loft with roof lights is easily accessed by an enclosed lobby with drop-down steps.
