Description: - This lovely grade II listed cottage is amongst the oldest remaining residential properties in the town and probably dates to the late 16th century. It was remodeled in the 18th century and has served as a shop and premises in its most recent history, including a time as a tobacconist and sweet shop. It is unclear as to the origins of its unusual name.
The cottage has changed little over the years and has now reverted to its original wholly residential use. The interior is charming and displays the early origins of the building with its timber frame and early architectural features very much in evidence. To the rear is the most delightful south-east facing part-walled garden.
The interior is surprisingly spacious with the accommodation extending to the attic floor, as well as a cellar. The ground floor reception room with large bay windows and fireplace is spacious and there is also a first floor sitting room, and study on the top floor. The current arrangement or rooms provides three double bedrooms and a family bathroom but a four-bedroom plan could be provided. This is a property of exceptional charm and interest.
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.
