DESCRIPTION
The Hollies occupies an enviable position at the bottom of the idyllic Quainton village green and very unusually has a vehicular access across the green to its own driveway and parking, something highly prized in such a picturesque location.

The property is listed grade II and requires modernisation although a plus side to that is the house has not been stripped of its character and features and provides the opportunity for someone to carry out a wonderful restoration of the accommodation, some of the door treads are worn down from hundreds of years of use. The Hollies also enjoys a range of outbuildings and approximately a 150ft long rear garden which is a superb mature plot also ripe for landscaping. The dwelling dates from the 1600?s and was altered in the late 1800?s when bay sash windows were introduced to the front elevation with a tile roof being added probably in the 20th century.

At the entrance the door opens into a lobby that has a stone floor and to the right is what would be a dining room or family room maybe that contains a relatively modern brick fireplace. Left of the lobby is the sitting room sporting very much the original and wonderful inglenook fireplace and both the reception rooms have bay windows with seating where in days gone by I?m sure the residents would have watched the world and people go by about their business. The kitchen floor is quarry tiles and there is a butlers sink and a few cupboards. The old white enamel Rayburn remains and in the corner is a large walk in pantry. Off the side is a hall and from there a generous cloakroom and then a utility room. The staircase curves up to the first floor and two bedrooms and a bathroom, the main bedroom retains the cast iron fireplace and in between the bedrooms is a spacious alcove which could be used to create a dressing area or ensuite. The second floor stairs are on the landing and they serve two attic room, each have windows in the gable ends.

OUTSIDE
Attached to the utility and cloakroom are a range of timber outbuildings with slate roofs comprising a barn, garage, and an open store as indicated on the floor plan. The barn and garage have brick and cobble floors and mains power and lighting and adjacent the open store lies a small brick shed. A few yards beyond is a lean to greenhouse.

It is an excellent plot with a path through the middle of lawn, grass, mature shrubs and trees with a vegetable patch towards the back and on the boundary two brick pig styes and a considerable corrugated tin storage building.

The garden is about 40ft wide and extends to circa. 150ft in depth.

A rarity for the green The Hollies has access across a track into its own driveway and parking for a few cars. At the front of the house is a dwarf stone wall with a hand gate and a bit of garden space.
