Hill Farm Lane, Chalfont Saint Giles HP8

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.

Outside

Accessed via twin electric gates and a video entry system, the wide driveway allows for ample parking to either side and access to the generously sized double garage. The rear gardens can be reached from both sides of the drive with numerous patios to be enjoyed depending on the time of day. The gardens have been thoughtfully designed with mature bushes, hedging and shrubs. 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.
