Description

Nestled in the picturesque village of Quainton, Windy Ridge is positioned slightly elevated off a side street, offering a unique blend of charm and potential. This property spans nearly an acre, providing a rare opportunity for renovation or redevelopment. The current dwelling was thoughtfully designed by its owners in the late 1960s with assistance from an architect, emphasizing natural light and stunning views. Its distinctive chalet-style architecture features angular walls and numerous large windows, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere. The interior consists of well-proportioned rooms that include a stylish kitchen with beech and marble-effect units, a spacious 25-foot sitting room adorned with an open copper fireplace, and a comfortable dining area. There are four bedrooms in total: three double bedrooms on the second floor enjoy beautiful vistas alongside a family bathroom. The layout allows for various configurations to suit modern living needs. The grounds are particularly noteworthy, featuring landscaped gardens dotted with trees as well as several outbuildings equipped with three-phase electricity. These structures include a workshop, garages, and additional storage space—ideal for those looking to maintain hobbies or run small businesses from home. Given the extensive grounds, there are significant opportunities for expansion or modification of the existing residence. Prospective buyers might consider extending the current home to add more living space or even demolishing it to construct a new property tailored to their specifications, pending necessary planning permissions. Additionally, there is an ongoing planning application submitted to develop the site into four separate properties currently under consideration by local authorities. This could enhance investment potential significantly if approved. Windy Ridge benefits from its proximity to excellent local schools like Waddesdon School and Aylesbury Grammar Schools while being minutes away from the scenic Quainton Hills. The northern boundary offers breathtaking views toward Lodge Hill and Rothschild Mansion at Waddesdon Manor. This property not only provides comfortable living but also serves as a strategic investment opportunity in a highly sought-after location.
