Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
If you’re craving a countryside escape, this Chilterns home ticks all the boxes. Surrounded by acres of gardens and paddocks, it’s a peaceful spot where you can properly switch off – whether that’s soaking in the hot tub, stretching out on the lawn, or heading straight out for a walk. Inside, there’s plenty of space for everyone, from the cosy sitting room with its wood-burning stove to the large dining area made for long, sociable meals. The kitchen is a little on the smaller side, but it’s well-equipped for easy cooking. We think it makes a lovely base for relaxing in an area of outstanding beauty.

About The Chiltern Hills
Just a stone's throw from London, the Chiltern Hills is the perfect destination for a truly memorable (and mostly secluded) getaway. Home to charming market towns, idyllic villages and plenty of trails to ramble and roam, the Chilterns are where you'll find some of the finest countryside in the UK. While the gorgeous views, chalk grassland and acres of woodland designate the hills as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty,...
