A modern single storey extension to the rear provides additional and versatile accommodation that could be easily re-arranged.

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.
