Description: - This detached Edwardian house occupies a large and quietly positioned plot of about 0.16 acre in the centre of the town.

Arranged on two floors there are three generous reception rooms as well as a substantial family kitchen whilst on the first floor all the bedrooms are double sized and most have an attractive open outlook.
A substantial south-facing garden lies to the rear and flank of the property together with a garage, workshop and store.
Watcombe Road has unadopted status and provides a quiet and attractive setting for a wide variety of cottages and houses, just a short walk from Watlington High Street.
