DESCRIPTION
Constructed in 1911 number 39 Lower Street is in the middle of a small terrace and unusually has parking and a double garage at the end of the terrace, something particularly sought after with period village houses. The room proportions are excellent and although in tidy condition the interior offers the opportunity for updating and redecorating.
A double glazed door leads into the porch, with windows each side, and a door then to the hall where the staircase is found. Left is the large dining room and kitchen, open plan with the kitchen at the far end comprising a range of wooden fronted units and laminate worktops incorporating a stainless steel sink. Midway along the wall is an alcove with the boiler and beyond the kitchen is a garden room or big boot room overlooking the garden. Off an inner hall is an understairs cupboard and opposite that a cloakroom that has a wc and wash basin. Akin to the kitchen and dining room the sitting room runs front to back of the house with a picture window at the front, sliding patio doors to the back, and there is also a working fireplace.
On the first floor are two really superbly appointed bedrooms, both with built in wardrobes. The bathroom too is spacious and in addition to the panelled bath there is a separate shower cubicle.
The loft has a fitted ladder. It is fully boarded and has a light and is a good space however the head height is a little low to enable its conversion into another bedroom.
OUTSIDE
The front garden is bounded by a wall and hand gate and gravel either side of the path up to the entrance. Some flowers and shrubs are dotted around.
The back is a mixture of grass and hardstanding, private, south facing and totally enclosed. Along much of the far boundary is a long shed or workshop that has power and light.
A gated path leads to the parking and garage where a concrete driveway can accommodate 3 or 4 vehicles.
The double garage is of concrete panels with a concrete floor and a metal up and over door. Power and light again are connected.
LOCATION
Quainton takes its name from the Old English words Cwen Tun and means The Queens Farmstead or Estate prominent on the skyline is the 14th century church which is exceptionally rich in large late 17th and 18th century monuments. The centre point of Quainton is the picturesque village green which looks up towards the 1830 working windmill. In the middle of the green is a fourteenth century preaching cross and in a picture from the late 1800s the old whipping post is visible where miscreants were tied and flogged Until the outbreak of Dutch Elm disease the village was encompassed by trees. Quainton now has a public house, caf, motor repairs, a general store and post office, and there are many clubs and societies. The sports ground features a football pitch, tennis court, and skateboard park.
