Tenure : Freehold
Description:
This charming grade II listed cottage is thought to date from the late 17th century but its origins may be earlier than that. The cottage has surprisingly generous room sizes most of which display elements of the original timber framework and features.
There are oak and pine boarded floors to most rooms, original fireplaces and good ceiling heights throughout. The sitting room has particular appeal and includes a working fireplace with stone surround and a large south-east facing sash window.
A large cellar provides additional storage and a cavernous loft space offers the opportunity for conversion, subject to obtaining listed planning consent. Currently the first floor provides two bedrooms and a substantial bathroom but it is thought that a third bedroom could be created with some rearrangement, again subject to listed planning consent.
A courtyard garden lies to the rear with separate shared access to the High Street.
Watlington
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.
