Lower Street, Quainton, Buckinghamshire.

DESCRIPTION
Constructed in 1911 number 39 Lower Street is in the middle of a small terrace and unusually has parking and a double garage at the end of the terrace, something particularly sought after with period village houses. The room proportions are excellent and although in tidy condition the interior offers the opportunity for updating and redecorating.
A double glazed door leads into the porch, with windows each side, and a door then to the hall where the staircase is found. Left is the large dining room and kitchen, open plan with the kitchen at the far end comprising a range of wooden fronted units and laminate worktops incorporating a stainless steel sink. Midway along the wall is an alcove with the boiler and beyond the kitchen is a garden room or big boot room overlooking the garden. Off an inner hall is an understairs cupboard and opposite that a cloakroom that has a wc and wash basin. Akin to the kitchen and dining room the sitting room runs front to back of the house with a picture window at the front, sliding patio doors to the back, and there is also a working fireplace.
On the first floor are two really superbly appointed bedrooms, both with built in wardrobes. The bathroom too is spacious and in addition to the panelled bath there is a separate shower cubicle.

The loft has a fitted ladder. It is fully boarded and has a light and is a good space however the head height is a little low to enable its conversion into another bedroom.

OUTSIDE
The front garden is bounded by a wall and hand gate and gravel either side of the path up to the entrance. Some flowers and shrubs are dotted around.

The back is a mixture of grass and hardstanding, private, south facing and totally enclosed. Along much of the far boundary is a long shed or workshop that has power and light.
A gated path leads to the parking and garage where a concrete driveway can accommodate 3 or 4 vehicles.
