About
Despite its tranquil rural location, Chiltern Place is conveniently situated just 30 miles northwest of the bustling city of London. A mere stone's throw away (less than half a mile, to be precise) you'll find a plethora of amenities, including a variety of shops, cosy pubs, and the well-equipped Amersham Hospital.
Chiltern Place isn't just a place to live, it's a community. The development offers a special guest suite for when loved ones come to visit, as well as beautifully landscaped gardens for peaceful afternoon strolls. There's also an on-site bistro for when you fancy a bite to eat, and a communal lounge where you can enjoy the company of your fellow homeowners.
For the more active retirees, the surrounding countryside provides an abundance of walking, cycling and hiking trails to explore. Chiltern Place truly offers the perfect blend of peaceful retirement living and active lifestyle opportunities.
