DESCRIPTION
18 Quainton Road is a truly elegant Victorian house dating from 1900, the painted brick elevations adorned by sash windows which sit under a slate roof.
The interior has retained all its character and charm, there are tall ceilings, many of the fireplaces remain and downlighting has been introduced throughout the accommodation, some LEDs.
A lobby has been carved out from the entrance providing space for coats and boots. The sitting room stretches from front to back, a lovely room with doors out to the garden, ceiling beams, floorboards, a hidden staircase and a handsome working fireplace that is flanked by cupboards. In the dining room a large woodburning stove sits in the fireplace. The floor is porcelain tiles and said tiles continue into the kitchen where there are beech style units and black granite effect worktops, the latter incorporating a butlers sink. Integrated are a 4 burner gas hob and an electric oven. Around the old fireplace is a larder.
Upstairs on the small landing is the loft hatch equipped with a loft ladder. The loft is partially boarded and has power and lighting and it is an excellent size possibly having potential for conversion.
I would describe all the bedrooms as small doubles, the one considered the main bedroom has much storage by way of wardrobes and the others benefit from cupboards or wardrobes too. Two still sport the original cast iron fireplaces. The bathroom has a white Victoriana suite of wc, wash basin and a panelled bath and over the bath are a hand held shower and a rainfall shower. The walls are mostlytiled, the window has shutters, there is a heated towel rail/radiator and a large linen closet.

OUTSIDE
The garden offers great privacy and extends to 43ft in depth being made up of a brick patio and then lawn. In the far corner stands a brick shed, 94 x 7. Power and lighting are connected.

NB There is a right of way across the rear and number 18 also has a right of way across the neighbouring property to gain access to Quainton Road.

LOCATION
In the ancient division of the county, Waddesdon Parish was of great extent. The name is a combination of a persons name and DUN in old English, translating to Wotts Hill. The village is steeped in history, a large account is written in MAGNA BRITTANNIA in 1806 concerning its famous connections. There is a church of Norman origins and the old Roman Military Road, Akeman Street used to pass through the place. A branch of the Aylesbury and Tring silk manufactory was established in the village in 1843 employing some 40 females at hand loom weaving but has long since gone.
