Location

Watlington, reputedly England’s smallest town, acts as a well-equipped local hub with a strong range of amenities, including a first-class butcher, delicatessen, cafés and several excellent pubs and restaurants. Set at the foot of the Chiltern Hills, it also enjoys immediate access to beautiful countryside, with the Icknield Way-part of the Ridgeway National Trail-passing close by, offering superb walking and cycling routes. Sports facilities are plentiful, with football and cricket clubs, tennis, squash and bowls.

Families are particularly well served, with Outstanding-rated primary and early years provision at Watlington Primary School and Rainbow Corner Nursery, and strong secondary education at Icknield Community College.

The town also benefits from excellent commuter links. Junction 6 of the M40 is close at hand for direct access to Oxford, High Wycombe, London and the Midlands, with fast rail services available from Princes Risborough or Oxford Parkway.

Garden

The walled garden to the rear of the house is lovely. A paved patio extends from the rear of the house with steps up to an expanse of lawn with a brick pathway and planted borders with a variety of plants, shrubs and climbing plants. A mature Yew tree stands at the end of the garden where a solid wood arched doorway in the wall of the garden leads out to a public footpath providing rear pedestrian access.

Parking - Driveway

Double wooden gates give access to the driveway where there is parking for two to three vehicles. A gate at the rear of the driveway leads into the walled garden.
