The Strand, Quainton, Buckinghamshire, HP22

DESCRIPTION
3 The Strand is at the end of a small terrace of period cottages just around the corner from the picturesque village green and has rendered elevations with upvc double glazed windows under a slate roof. The interior is full of character with the original frame of the building visible in places and it is presented in good decorative condition throughout, the current owners having completed a mini refurbishment of the accommodation including a revamp of the reception room and kitchen, a new bathroom, the installation of cast iron radiators, a new electric consumer board, replacement side door, and the introduction of two great garden rooms, perfect for an office and studio or gym. Briefly the front door opens into the living room, this room is a charming area with Karndean luxury vinyl oak flooring, a ceiling beam, some exposed timbers, and a tall old brick fireplace that has been restored, in which sits a woodburning stove. Clever use of space has been applied to the understairs area with a shelved cupboard and sliding drawers. In the inner hall is a quarry tiled floor and a double glazed door to outside. The kitchen is attractively fitted with painted white units and solid wood worktops. Built in is a recently replaced oven and grill and then a halogen hob with an extractor hood that has a brushed chrome extractor hood above. There is room for a fridge/freezer and plumbing for a washing machine. The floor is also quarry tiled and there is a dual aspect, the rear window having a very pleasant view across the garden. The refitted ground floor bathroom has a white suite with LED downlighting, above the bath is a power shower with a handheld attachment and an overhead rainfall shower. The wash basin rests on a treated cookie of tree trunk, a porcelain slate floor has been laid, and the velux window replaced. Upstairs the landing and both bedrooms enjoy lovely exposed timber work, the main bedroom a really good size, and the second bedroom with a built in bed.

OUTSIDE
To the side of the cottage is a walkway that leads round to the back garden which is a real feature of the property and extends to around 100ft. There is a patio then retaining stone walls and steps up to the lawn which contains a superb eucalyptus tree halfway up and is bordered by mature shrubs and flowers. Near the patio is a store/loggia.

An excellent addition by the current owners are the two timber outbuildings at the end of the garden, one fully insulated and the other with the roof and floor insulated. Their dimensions are 4.5 metres x 2.5 metres and 3.5 metres x 2.5 metres and each has double glazed windows, mains power, and their own consumer unit. They make perfect offices or studios and in between them is flagstone paving.
