This four-bedroom property presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment in the charming village of Quainton. Nestled at the edge of the village green, it boasts rare vehicular access, allowing for dedicated off-street parking—a valuable feature in this picturesque setting.
Dating back to the 1600s, with significant alterations made in the late 1800s, this Grade II listed home retains much of its historical character. While it requires modernisation, the untouched features such as worn door treads and original fireplaces provide a remarkable foundation for restoration. The layout includes two reception rooms, each with bay windows that offer delightful views of village life; one room showcases an impressive inglenook fireplace, enhancing its period charm.
The kitchen retains elements like a butler’s sink and a classic Rayburn stove, along with quarry tile flooring and a spacious walk-in pantry. Just off the kitchen are utility and cloakroom spaces that add functionality to daily living. The first floor features two bedrooms and a bathroom; the main bedroom still holds its original cast iron fireplace. A generous alcove between the two bedrooms offers potential for an ensuite or dressing area. The attic contains two additional rooms, both benefiting from natural light through gabled windows.
Outside, the property is set on approximately 150 feet of mature garden space that is well-established yet allows for further landscaping or gardening projects. Several timber outbuildings accompany the main house, including a barn and garage with power supply—ideal for hobbies or storage—and a quaint greenhouse adds further potential for outdoor enthusiasts.
The extensive garden is punctuated by mature shrubs, trees, and even pig sties—remnants of its agricultural past—which could serve either as nostalgic features or be reimagined within new designs. With ample front garden space enclosed by a dwarf stone wall and direct access from the driveway to park multiple vehicles, this property combines convenience with an idyllic setting.
Considering renovations to preserve its historical integrity while enhancing modern amenities could lead to significant value appreciation. The Hollies stands as not just a residence but an investment opportunity steeped in character and potential within one of Quainton's most enviable locations.
