Tucked into a 500-acre private estate in the Chiltern Hills, this brick-and-flint cottage delivers the kind of countryside escape that's hard to find – and harder to leave. Gather round the wood-burner on cold evenings, then head out to the vaulted games barn for pool, table football, and pinball. Outside, a private terrace looks out over rolling fields, perfect for alfresco dining as the light fades. The Hambleden Valley is walking distance from the door, with Henley-on-Thames and its riverside just a short drive away.

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.
