Porringers is a Grade II Listed house dating back to the 16th Century and occupying an excellent position in the centre of Watlington. The property has many original features, including wooden beams, an inglenook fireplace, and a cellar.
You enter a small entrance hall into the front reception room; the room has a beautiful inglenook fireplace, ceiling, and wall timbers, and quarry tiled floor, with access to the kitchen. The kitchen has fitted wooden wall and floor units, with an alcove and chimney breast that houses the oil central heating boiler. To the rear of the reception room, you enter the back of the property; the rear hallway area is light and airy with French windows to the garden and access to the sitting room. There is also a small cloakroom with WC. The sitting room is a spacious, double height room with ceiling timbers, roof lights, wood clad walls, and large French windows that open on to the terrace. From the opposite side of the front reception room is access to the wide staircase leading to the first floor, a small landing area has access to a bedroom with built in cupboard and access to the small cellar.

On the first floor is the principal bedroom, with double aspect windows and fitted wardrobe, and the family bathroom with double height ceiling and Velux window. The landing area has fitted bookshelves, an ideal seating area, with a wooden ladder to the third bedroom in the roof area. The bedroom has fitted eaves storage and Velux windows with delightful views over the rear garden and beyond to the Chiltern Hills.

The attractive walled garden has a natural stone patio with an arbour and seating area, ideal for alfresco entertaining; flower beds are stocked with various mature shrubs and flowers. There is access to the garage to the rear of the garden with space for one car and shelving; the vehicular access to the garage is to the side of the property. Access to the drive/garage is via an archway from Couching Street, and Porringers has the right of way over this cobbled driveway to the rear of the property.


Porringers is centrally located in Watlington, a popular medieval market town with a Town Hall dating from 1664. It is positioned in a beautiful rural setting; the rolling countryside with beech woodlands and chalk downland provides the ideal location to explore the great rights of way network. There are several excellent shops that include a butcher and delicatessen, together with gastro pubs and restaurants.
The immediate countryside offers many beautiful, well signed paths such as The Ridgeway for cycling, walking and horse riding. There are good local golf courses nearby and boating on the River Thames at nearby Henley-on-Thames.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
