Station Road, Quainton, Buckinghamshire.

DESCRIPTION
89 Station Road has been comprehensively modernised by the current owners who have had the property rewired and installed a new central heating system. The original ground floor of the house has been treated for damp and a new bay window fitted as well as a new staircase. The Victorian character of the building remains though, and indeed is now enhanced.

You enter via a composite double glazed door with patterned glass panels into the sitting and dining room, now one open plan space, the staircase opposite the entrance. A cast iron woodburning stove sits in the fireplace upon a slate hearth and there is a timber mantelpiece. The front aspect is the aforementioned bay window and the dining room has a side aspect. The fireplace remains in the dining area but the chimney has been boarded up, it could be simply reinstated if so desired. The kitchen has mid grey colour soft close cupboards and drawers complimented by black granite effect worktops and backstands. The oven and ceramic hob are integrated and above the hob is a black extractor hood. Spaces are available for a dishwasher and washing machine (plumbing in situ) and being an L shaped room there is plenty of space for a fridge/freezer. At the end of the kitchen is an outside door. In the bathroom is a contemporary white suite of wc and wash basin that has a vanity unit below and a countertop. Over the short kidney bath are hand held and rainfall showers and there is a shower screen. Both the kitchen and bathroom have wood laminate flooring and LED downlighting.
Upstairs on the landing is the loft access, the loft mostly boarded with a ladder and a light. The front bedroom is a good double and has recesses for wardrobes and bedroom two is a great single/small double, the latter bedroom boasting a lovely view. A cloakroom serves the bedrooms comprising a wc and wash basin, and as per the bathroom it has wood laminate flooring and a vanity unit and countertop.

OUTSIDE
Behind a hedge and hand gate is a path to the front door between slate chippings.
The driveway runs down the side and then to a large patch of hardstanding and parking. A concrete slab surrounded by slate chippings has been created suitable for a garage or workshop and then is the lawn. Flowers, shrubs and trees adorn the borders and beds of the lawn and because it abuts neighbouring paddocks you benefit from a wonderful rural outlook.
