Our neighborhood

We live in a quiet village close to Amersham in Buckinghamshire. It has a village shop and pub (both of which are 5 mins walk from the house) and village green with childrens play area. There are numerous walks through woods and across fields from the house. Amersham is a lovely old town and is 5 mins drive away. It has been the scene for several movies including Four Weddings and a Funeral and is very beautiful with lots of lovely restaurants and shops. Amersham also has a Tube station and central London is 30 mins on the train. It also has other amenities such as a supermarket, swimming pool, banks, post office, chemists, shops, etc. Great Missenden is another lovely town 5 mins away and has the benefit of the Roald Dahl museum amongst other things. Windsor is 30 minutes drive away, as is Oxford, and the Cotswolds are within easy reach (approximately one hour by car). This area of Buckinghamshire is an affluent one with lovely towns and villages, and a favourite with celebrities who own homes here such as Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt, Sharon Osbourne, etc.

Something about ourselves

We are a couple in our thirties with two young children age 5 & 3, so we have many toys/DVDS and equipment for young children. We have a Welsh Springer Spaniel (Rufus - who would be boarded whilst you are here), a cat and 3 chickens (lovely fresh organic eggs for breakfast!). We love to travel for holidays and long weekends but we are limited to school holidays.
