Station Road, Quainton, Buckinghamshire.

DESCRIPTION
Number 93 Station Road in in the middle of a small terrace of Victorian houses bearing the name Wilton Cottages. The owner has been very busy renovating the property over the last 18 months installing a brand new central heating system, replacing windows, curing the damp which now has a 30 year guarantee, redecorating the interior and fitting a new bathroom. In 2021 planning permission was granted to extend the ground floor significantly widening the current kitchen to create a kitchen/breakfast or dining area, and the kitchen is the only area the current owner has not tackled yet, thus someone purchasing now would have the opportunity to put their own final stamp on the house. The building regulations and permission would need to be renewed but all the information can be found on the AVDC planning portal under reference 21/04500/HPDE

A porch is at the entrance for coats and boots, the walls are exposed brick and there is a quarry tiled floor. A latch door leads into the open plan sitting and dining room, all of which has oak laminate flooring. In the sitting area is a fireplace housing a cast iron woodburning stove and the far corner of the dining area is where the staircase is located. An understairs cupboard remains and adjacent that a pretty arched alcove has been created.
By their own admission the owner has run out of steam when it comes to the kitchen, a tad exhausted following their efforts modernising the rest of the cottage. Of course the kitchen could be updated as is but the opportunity exists here to transform this room and extend it as per the planning outlined in the previous paragraph. Currently the kitchen has a range of units and roll edge worksurfaces with spaces for a cooker, fridge/freezer, washing machine and dishwasher (plumbing in situ). The galley kitchen could become a great cooking and eating area.
The bathroom now enjoys a contemporary white suite with chrome fittings. There is a wc and wash basin vanity unit and a panelled bath that has a mixer tap and shower attachment and a shower screen is provided. The walls and floor are tiled and there is an extractor fan, heated ladder towel rail/radiator and LED downlighting.
Upstairs throughout are floorboards and latch doors, the principle bedroom an excellent double. Bedroom two is also a double and has a deep wardrobe and bedrooms two and three are interconnecting, the latter an excellent single.
The loft is insulated and has a light.

OUTSIDE
A path of blue diamond pavers runs up to the front door and between the house and wrought iron railings is gravel.

Off the back door is a little courtyard and patio. Then a path and hardstanding up to the first patch of lawn and flanking this lawn is a bespoke 16ft x 6ft timber shed with power and light and a covered log store. Beyond is the main paved terrace prior to the second lawn. At the end of the 100ft garden is a fenced wild piece of ground that strikes the writer as a perfect possible allotment.
The backdrop is fields.
