Among the county’s most desirable addresses, Amersham stands out as one of the jewels of the Chilterns. Its old town, with 17th-century inns, boutique shops and honeyed brick houses, combines perfectly with the convenience of the Metropolitan Line and top-performing schools. To the south, the river weaves through Marlow, Bourne End and Taplow – an area where Georgian facades, riverside walks and thriving restaurants define daily life. Marlow, with its independent shops and Michelin-starred dining, exudes understated confidence, while Bourne End and Taplow offer quieter riverbank living and excellent access to London and the M4 corridor.

The county town of Aylesbury remains a practical and cultural hub, home to the Waterside Theatre and a growing town centre that complements its historic heart. Its surrounding villages – Weston Turville, Waddesdon and Whitchurch – retain a rural rhythm, each with fine pubs, handsome houses and welcoming greens. In the north, Buckingham offers an elegant market-town feel, with Georgian terraces, independent cafés and the charm of the River Great Ouse running through it. The nearby villages of Tingewick and Padbury provide peaceful alternatives, offering a genuine sense of countryside while remaining close to amenities.

To the south, Chalfont St Giles and Little Missenden encapsulate the best of Buckinghamshire’s village life – ancient cottages, leafy lanes and thriving communities that combine perfectly with proximity to London via Gerrards Cross. In the Vale of Aylesbury, Haddenham stands as one of the county’s most picturesque large villages, complete with thatched cottages, wide greens and a strong local identity. Nearby Waddesdon, with its Rothschild heritage and stately parkland, remains one of the area’s most recognisable and desirable locations.

Further north, Winslow is fast emerging as a star of the county – a historic market town with a lively community and independent spirit. Its 17th-century market square and well-kept Georgian houses give it enduring appeal, and with the East West Rail link set to enhance connectivity, Winslow’s popularity among discerning buyers is only set to grow.
