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.
