Built by Banner Homes on the site of the former kitchen garden of the old manor house, this unique design features creativity by the architect, especially to its front elevation with excellent accommodation for a growing family to enjoy. The property design was so advanced at the time that it won the Daily Telegraph What House Award.

Entry to the house is gained via the covered pillared entrance porch opening to a spacious reception hall with tiled flooring and a stunning oak staircase rising to the first floor.

The rear gardens can be reached from both sides of the drive with numerous patios to be enjoyed depending on the time of day.

As the gardens are part of the old kitchen gardens of the former manor, the old walls create great screening, privacy and shelter from the wind.SituationChalfont St Giles is an affluent, thriving village that can be found 25 miles from London and is bordered by the equally sought-after neighbourhoods of Amersham, Beaconsfield, Gerrards Cross and Little Chalfont.
