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. There is a thriving creative community and sports facilities are plentiful, with football and cricket clubs, tennis, squash and bowls.

Families are particularly well served, with Outstanding-rated early years and primary provision at Rainbow Corner Nursery and Watlington Primary School and strong secondary education available locally at Icknield Community College, all within a stones throw from this home.

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.
