Tenure : Freehold -
Description: - An important 15th century grade II listed cottage and former public house occupying a plot of almost a quarter of an acre in the heart of the town. The property with its impressive timber framed facade is situated in the High Street and enjoys a driveway, ample parking as well as an attached garage.
Behind the house is a very substantial and beautifully maintained south-facing garden that incorporates an ornamental iron feature and pond.
The cottage is of great interest with its timber framework, jettied first floor, flint-work, fireplaces and other features and characteristics that reflect its long history. Of particular note is the inglenook fireplace in the sitting room and the fine elaborate timber framework which is particular evident in the large vaulted principal bedroom.
A modern single storey extension to the rear provides additional and versatile accommodation that could be easily re-arranged.
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.

Integral Garage: - 5.07 x 3.62 (16'7" x 11'10") - Having hinged double doors, power and light points.
Store/Workshop - 3.60 x 2.89 (11'9" x 9'5") - Timber framed and clad and providing ample storage/work space with power and light points.
Garden: - The garden approaches a quarter of an acre in size and is accessed directly from the house or via double gates from the driveway. It is mostly laid to lawn and has a number of mature specimen trees and planted beds and borders which are enclosed by high, shaped hedgerows that provide much privacy.
