Summary - 3, THE GREEN HP22 4AR
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Period cottage on Quainton Green — big garden, outbuildings, in need of renovation.
Grade II listed cottage dating from the 1600s with retained period features
Set directly overlooking Quainton’s picture-postcard village green, this Grade II listed detached house dates from the 1600s and retains obvious period character: an inglenook fireplace, bay windows with window seats, exposed beams and original door treads. The property sits on a rare long plot of about 150ft with a wide garden, brick outbuildings, barn, garage and driveway accessed across the green — practical parking in a village centre location. Local primary and secondary schools rated Good–Outstanding are nearby, and the area is a prosperous, very low-crime rural community.
This is a renovation opportunity rather than a move-in home. The house needs modernisation throughout (kitchen, bathrooms, services and general refurbishment) and its listed status will constrain alterations and require specialist approvals. The accommodation is relatively compact overall (circa 1,125 sq ft), arranged as two principal first-floor bedrooms with two attic rooms above and two reception rooms on the ground floor, so careful planning is needed to maximise space and value.
For buyers seeking a sympathetic restoration or an investor after a character project, The Hollies offers genuine upside: original features largely intact, substantial garden ripe for landscaping, and useful outbuildings with power. Note the practical drawbacks clearly — renovation costs, listed-building restrictions and an expensive Council Tax Band F (£3,083.70 pa) — so factor these into any offer or renovation budget. Viewing will best suit those who value location and character and who are prepared to take on a careful refurbishment.
