This attractive townhouse has an imposing facade and occupies a quiet and desirable location at the bottom of the High Street. It benefits from an oak-framed double bay garage and two parking bays. The interior accommodation is arranged over three floors and includes an elegant first floor reception room some 22' in length. This room has a range of three south-facing sash windows with plantation shutters, an oak boarded floor and fireplace with solid fuel stove. Of particular note is the large and comprehensively fitted kitchen/dining room by John Lewis that includes integral kitchen equipment together with granite worktops, surface lighting and oak boarded floors. The principal bedroom and en suite shower room occupies the converted loft and is open to ridge height with exposed roof timbers.
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.
