Location and convenience are key when it come to this unique, character property. Ideally situated in the heart of Watlington, reputedly England`s smallest town, residents can benefit from the hustle and bustle of Watlington`s thriving high street; complete with, cafes, pubs and an eclectic range of independent & award-winning shops - Including a first-class butchers, delicatessen, bakers and regular fruit & veg market.
Within a ten minutes` walk from the property are Watlington Primary School and Rainbow Day Nursery, both establishments awarded `Outstanding` by Ofsted. Icknield Community College provides similar well-regarded secondary education. The town has a range of sports facilities that include: football, cricket, tennis, squash and bowls, again all conveniently located within walking distance of the property. Alongside a local library there is a huge array of clubs, to suit all ages and interests. Finally, the community benefits from a lovely children`s play area, complete with a skate park and outdoor gym equipment for older generations.
Situated at the foot of the Chilterns, an area of outstanding beauty, location is definitely the dual advantage of this property. When needing to escape Watlington`s vibrant town and community, a ten-minute walk in the opposite direction sees you firmly placed in some of the finest countryside in the southeast. The property itself is fortunate to enjoy views over the neighbouring roof tops, directly towards the Chiltern Hills. There is so much on offer here for outdoor enthusiasts, cyclists and walkers, including the famous Icknield Way (Ridgeway National Trail) a mere stones` throw away.
The property with its easy access to the M40 is still within a 30-minute drive of both the London tube network and Oxford. With equally good access to neighbouring towns of Henley-on Thames, Thame and Wallingford. The current owners say the following about the property `We have loved living here right in the very heart of historic Watlington. Our unique home offers a perfect mix of old (the building itself (a former Drapers) was built pre. 1800) and new, centrally located with plenty of private outdoor space. Its location offers the best of both worlds; the ease of town living with immediate access to stunning countryside, all of which are literally right on your doorstep.` This makes this property ideal for young professionals wanting to enjoy country living, or young families wanting easy access to excellent schools, activities and clubs. The property also lends itself to investors and those seeking a potential rental opportunity.
