Description

Nestled in an elevated position just off a quiet side street, this residence offers a unique opportunity for renovation or redevelopment in the picturesque village of Quainton. Known for its striking windmill that graces the village green and its highly regarded school catchment areas, including Waddesdon School and Aylesbury Grammar Schools, this property is ideally situated for both families and investors. Set on nearly an acre of land, the property presents multiple possibilities. The existing home could be remodeled or expanded to create a more expansive living space, or the current structure could be replaced entirely with a new build tailored to personal specifications, pending necessary planning approvals. Notably, there is currently an application under consideration by the local council for a development scheme comprising four new homes on the site. Originally constructed in the late 1960s by the current owners with architectural assistance, this home has a distinctive design aimed at maximizing natural light and views. Its chalet-style exterior features numerous picture windows that offer stunning vistas of the surrounding landscape. The interior boasts angular walls and exposed brickwork, while spacious rooms provide ample potential for reconfiguration according to modern preferences. The beautifully landscaped grounds are dotted with mature trees and feature formal gardens with flower beds and paved seating areas beneath a silver birch. Beyond the main dwelling lies a collection of outbuildings equipped with three-phase electricity, including a workshop that presents opportunities for various projects or storage needs. Accessed via a long tarmac driveway leading to a generous parking area, this property also includes detached garages and additional storage options nearby. Its northern boundary meets the Quainton Hills, providing picturesque views, especially toward Lodge Hill where Waddesdon Manor can be spotted in the distance. The home comprises four bedrooms—three of which are located on the upper floor—all benefiting from scenic outlooks. The main living areas include a stylish kitchen with contemporary units, an expansive sitting room designed to capture outdoor beauty through large doors, and two additional reception spaces that can serve as versatile living areas or extra bedrooms. With significant renovation potential both inside and out, combined with its appealing location and developmental opportunities, this property offers an excellent investment prospect for those looking to capitalize on Quainton's charm while creating something truly special.
