This modern cottage is situated in a quiet residential cul-de-sac on the edge of the town. It occupies an unusually large plot that provides a sizeable garden that wraps around the cottage and includes a detached studio/office with storeroom. An extension to the flank of the property provides a further reception room or third bedroom with en suite shower room. A generous and well-fitted kitchen includes a dining area with French doors opening to a large conservatory that in turn opens to the terrace and garden. On the first floor there is large 'L' shaped master bedroom with double aspect and fine extended views over the garden and farmland beyond.
Watlington is reputedly England’s smallest town with its origins dating from the 6th century. The town has a range of sports facilities that embrace football and cricket as well as tennis, squash and bowls. There are good local shops including a first class butcher and delicatessen and some excellent restaurants and pubs. 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. There is much on offer here for outdoor enthusiasts, cyclists and walkers as The Icknield Way (Ridgeway National Trail) passes close to the town. Watlington is also the heartland of the re-introduced Red Kite that now soar above the town’s roof tops.
