# HQ 1 High Street

Watlington is a small Oxfordshire market town at the foot of the Chiltern Hills, and the operator calls it one of the county's most scenic. HQ at 1 High Street occupies a Grade II listed building at its heart, which the operator describes as a traditional building with original sash windows that flood the workspace with natural light. It is a very different proposition from the Oxford science parks, and that is precisely what makes it attractive to some teams.

The operator suggests a community of consultants, creatives and start-ups drawn by the town's relaxed pace and professional community. Inside, private offices with characterful features sit alongside coworking spaces designed for teamwork and sharing ideas, and fully equipped meeting rooms can be booked on demand through the app. Business-grade Wi-Fi runs throughout the building. The centre lists a lounge area and meeting rooms, and the furnished private offices include reception, printing and a kitchenette.

Transport is better than the town's size suggests. The M40 is a short drive away, which opens the road to Oxford, Birmingham and London. For rail, the operator names Princes Risborough station, 18 km away, from which trains run to London Marylebone, and Heathrow Airport is around 50 km for visitors from abroad. A bus stop on Shirburn Street is just steps from the office, which helps staff who come without a car.

Watlington's proximity to Oxford is a strong point. The operator highlights the opportunity to tap into the city's research and innovation hubs while being part of a strong local community. A biotech consultant, a software freelancer or an academic spin-out with a small team can use Watlington as a calm base within reach of Oxford's networks, rather than pay city rents.

The surroundings invite the breaks that office life requires. The operator mentions independent cafés and countryside walks on the doorstep. Watlington Hill, a National Trust site with chalk grassland and views over the Oxfordshire plain, is nearby, and the Chilterns offer walking in every direction. A team away-day on foot can be arranged almost from the front door.

Who is it for? Consultants and creatives who live in the Chilterns and want to stop working from the kitchen table; small technology and life-science firms that value a quiet base near Oxford; solicitors, accountants and architects who serve rural and village clients; and remote workers for London employers who come into the capital only now and then. A listed building also suits firms that want an address with character.

We do not currently show photographs of the interior. In a Grade II listed building, rooms vary in size and layout, so ask to see the specific office, as well as the meeting rooms, and ask about reception hours, parking and whether the address can be used as a registered office.

Because Watlington is small, some services are limited. If your team needs frequent client lunches or specialist suppliers, ask the centre what is available locally.

The town's small scale has another advantage: people know each other. A consultant who takes a desk here soon meets local solicitors, farm managers, shop owners and artisans, and those introductions are exactly the type of word-of-mouth business that does not appear in a directory. For anyone building a practice in rural Oxfordshire, that is as valuable as the internet connection.

To get the current price and to arrange a viewing, submit an enquiry through CoworkingView with your team size, start date and expected term, and we will put you in touch with the centre.
