Building record 1488500000 - 14 Upper Street, Quainton

Detached one and a half storey building, similar in design to 4 Upper Street and constructed by the
same developer. Buildings date from the early C20. Situated slightly back within its plot but above
the height of the road. The building sits beneath a gabled roof, laid in clay tiles. Central brick
chimney stack and centrally positioned gabled dormer breaking the eaves line. At no. 14, the apex
of the dormer has been infilled with later applied timber boards. No. 14 is rendered and painted,
but unlike no. 4 there is no applied timber framing to first floor. Two windows positioned centrally
within the dormer and two flush three light casements to first floor. Small single storey flat roofed
garage and entrance extension to right hand (facing) gable. Despite being set back from the
carriageway, this building is visually prominent, due to its elevated position, its rendered and
principle elevation and its central window and dormer. Despite later alterations the building retains
its original form, scale, massing and much of its character and is a visually attractive example of an
early C20 building within the village. Local Heritage Asset in conservation area (1).
