About this property
Unique c16th two double-bed apartment in The Chilterns near Oxford and Henley
Pineapple Apartment is on the first and second floors of a unique 16th century terraced house in the centre of Watlington. There is even a view of Watlington Hill from the top.
It consists of two double bedrooms, a fully equipped bathroom, sitting room, a quiet working space and food prep/eating area. Please note that there is no conventional hob or oven. Rather a microwave and air fryer for hot food.
We are 10 minutes walk from the Icknield Way and the National Trust's Watlington Hill.
Henley on Thames, Oxford, Thame and Wallingford are all about 15-20 minutes drive away.
The property is cosy, (Bijou to our French friends, Gemütlich to our German cousins), and suitable for everyone fit enough to manage a few stairs.
More information
Guest access
The apartment in accessed from 40 Couching Street (B4009) and is clearly marked. Look for the pineapple on the door.
Other things to note
Pineapple apartment is a 16th building. This means low door openings and many exposed beams. I love this house and expect guests will understand why, once they have experienced a stay here.
Is is ideal for adults and children over 5 years old who can manage a few stairs.

About the host
Hosted by Martin
We have lived in Watlington since 1981 so our roots are firmly in the ground here and here we will stay. We are lucky to live in this beautiful corner of England with quick access to both Oxford and London.
Pineapple Apartment is located above our interiors business and we live in the house behind both.
