Summary - The Strand, Quainton, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, HP22 HP22 4AS
3 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious character home with orangery and large gardens near village amenities.
Grade II listed 17th-century thatched cottage with original features
A Grade II listed 17th-century thatched village house sympathetically modernised to offer generous living across almost 3,000 sq ft. The property retains original character — exposed beams, feature fireplaces and leaded-light windows — while providing practical family accommodation: three/four bedrooms, three bath or shower rooms (two en suite) and three reception rooms including a bright orangery.
Set in established cottage gardens with mature fruit trees, shrubs and a greenhouse, the house sits on a large plot backing onto a paddock and benefits from a cobbled driveway, double garage and garden store. The central village location places good primary and secondary schools and local amenities within easy reach, making it well suited to families seeking countryside living with community convenience.
Buyers should note the material considerations: the Grade II listing brings statutory restrictions that may complicate alterations and repairs, and the thatched roof and timber frame require specialist maintenance. Heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators, and council tax is described as quite expensive. Some internal rooms are characterfully small with low ceilings, reflecting the house’s historic proportions despite the recent renovation.
Overall this is a rare, characterful family home combining countryside charm and modernised convenience, but best suited to purchasers prepared for listed-building ownership and ongoing maintenance of traditional fabric.
