HIGH STREET, Watlington, OX49

A smart one-bedroom mews cottage in the heart of Watlington. The Stables is an ideal Oxfordshire bolt hole, investment property or first home, compact, well designed and ready to move into.

Tucked away just off the High Street down a quiet pathway, the property enjoys a peaceful setting only moments from the shops, cafés and everyday amenities of this popular market town. It offers privacy without compromising on convenience.

Access is via a shared gated courtyard. The front door opens directly into a modern fitted kitchen, finished with attractive units, an integrated dishwasher, gas hob and combi boiler. There is also space for a small dining table, making it practical as well as stylish.
The ground floor shower room is fitted to a high standard and presented in excellent order, complete with tongue-and-groove panelling and a side window providing natural light and ventilation.

Upstairs, the property opens into a characterful reception room set within the eaves, featuring exposed beams and a bright, airy feel. There is room here for both seating and dining. Neutral carpeting runs throughout the first floor, which steps up to a cleverly arranged bedroom. Two large Velux windows flood the space with light and enhance the sense of openness.

A well-kept, low-maintenance home in a highly sought-after location.

Watlington is widely regarded as the smallest town in England, with roots stretching back to the 6th century. It offers a variety of sporting amenities, including facilities for football, cricket, tennis, squash and bowls. The town benefits from a selection of independent shops, notably an excellent butcher and delicatessen, along with several highly regarded pubs and restaurants.
Education is well catered for, with Watlington Primary School and Rainbow Corner Day Nursery and Pre-School both holding ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted ratings. Secondary education is provided by the respected Icknield Community College.
Set against the backdrop of the Chiltern Hills, the town enjoys access to some of the most attractive countryside in south-east England. Outdoor pursuits are particularly well supported, as the Icknield Way — part of The Ridgeway — runs close by, making the area especially appealing to walkers and cyclists.
