Description

Numbers 1 and 2 The Green and Number 2 Lower Street are a group of three houses and a shop located on the west side of The Green in Quainton. The two bays on the right are part of a 17th-century L-plan house that was refronted and extended in 1882. The original building features timber-framed gabled projections at the rear, with the right gable rebuilt in brick and a rendered front. It has an old tiled roof that is half-hipped to the right and a central chimney made of thin brick. The structure is two storeys high with two bays.

On the ground floor, there are 19th-century canted bay windows with segmental-headed sashes. The first floor includes a three-pane sash window to the right and a 20th-century paired wooden casement window to the left. The central lobby entry has a door with a segmental head and a rendered keyblock. At the rear, there is an old paired leaded casement window on the first floor. To the left, there is a late 19th to early 20th-century extension made of red and yellow brick, featuring wooden casements, a six-panelled door to the right, and a shop front to the left with a curved corner door.
