This Grade II listed 17th-century house on The Green in Quainton, Buckinghamshire presents a unique opportunity but requires a significant investment. The property’s location is a major selling point, situated on the charming village green and within walking distance of Quainton Church of England School. Aylesbury Vale Parkway train station is within reasonable proximity.

However, the property is in need of substantial renovation. The interior images show dated finishes, worn flooring, and a general need for modernisation. The kitchen and bathrooms are particularly outdated and require complete replacement.

The property does feature some attractive characteristics, such as exposed beams, and original fireplaces. These features could add to the charm and appeal once renovated. The inclusion of a substantial garden, numerous outbuildings (including a garage and shed), adds to the potential of the property.

The list price of £550,000 requires careful consideration. While comparable properties in the area have sold for higher prices, those were typically in better condition. A prospective buyer needs to factor in significant costs associated with a full renovation. This could influence the overall return on investment. It is advisable to obtain multiple building surveys and detailed quotes before making an offer.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
