A Beautifully Renovated Home in the Heart of Long Crendon

Location, Location, Location
Long Crendon has long held its reputation as one of Buckinghamshire’s most desirable villages – and it's easy to see why. This quintessential English village offers an enchanting mix of period architecture and rich heritage. Stroll along the picturesque High Street and you’ll find an impressive collection of character properties dating back centuries, from charming 17th-century colour-washed cottages to the striking 14th-century grey limestone church – a true centrepiece of village life.

The community here is vibrant and well-served. Amenities include a post office, butchers, general store, artisan coffee shop, and a selection of popular pubs and restaurants, including a highly regarded fine dining option. The village also caters to a range of faiths with several churches.

Families will appreciate the excellent educational options. The local primary school enjoys an excellent reputation and feeds into the ever-popular Lord Williams’s School in nearby Thame, as well as the Aylesbury Grammar Schools. A range of independent schools are also within easy reach.

For commuters, the location is ideal. Junction 8A of the M40 is just 7.7 miles away, and Haddenham & Thame Parkway station offers a direct Chiltern Line service to London Marylebone in as little as 37 minutes.
