DESCRIPTION
Number 68 Quainton Road is in a small terrace of former Rothschild cottages constructed in the late part of the 1800s. The elevations are red brick beneath a slate roof with upvc double glazed windows.
The property was subject to an extensive refurbishment over a decade ago and the current owners have further updated and improved the house replacing many of the windows (some with attractive shutters), installing a new kitchen earlier in 2025, almost brand new flooring downstairs, redecoration and refurbishing the bathroom and cloakroom.
Being typical of the late Victorian era the accommodation is spacious and light with tall ceilings and a feeling of elegance and the interior and exterior are equally well presented.
A porch has been added with a Victorian style tiled floor providing a space for coats and boots. Throughout the ground floor is delightful Elizabethan herringbone oak parquet luxury vinyl tiling and LED downlighting can be found in the majority of the rooms.

LOCATION
In the ancient division of the county, Waddesdon Parish was of great extent. The name is a combination of a persons name and DUN in old English, translating to Wotts Hill. The village is steeped in history, a large account is written in MAGNA BRITTANNIA in 1806 concerning its famous connections. There is a church of Norman origins and the old Roman Military Road, Akeman Street used to pass through the place. A branch of the Aylesbury and Tring silk manufactory was established in the village in 1843 employing some 40 females at hand loom weaving but has long since gone.
Of some renown is the magnificent Waddesdon Manor, the recently refurbished Rothschild Mansion. Baron Ferdinand De Rothschild bought the land in 1874, it is said he picked the site for his residence after hunting in the area.

The village has excellent pre schools with a junior and highly sought after secondary school.

The nearby market towns and villages provide a wealth of historical and interesting places to visit including the local Waddesdon Manor, Claydon House and Quainton Steam Railway.
