A charming period cottage occupying a quiet and lovely setting at the bottom of Watlington High Street. It is terraced and is set well back from the road behind a paved and planted walkway that offers an attractive outlook. The residential mews, of which it is part, also provides two private parking bays in a private courtyard that lies to the rear.
The interior provides spacious and well-proportioned rooms on two floor levels with large sash windows providing ample natural light. The sitting room has a south-facing aspect and there is a spacious fitted kitchen to the rear which is sufficiently sized to provide a dining area. On the upper floor there are two double bedrooms, both with en-suite bathrooms.
The position of the cottage means it is exceptionally well-placed for the principal shops and services of the town including the public gardens that lie opposite the cottage.
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.
