Help and advice on buying property in The Chalfont and the surrounding villages
If you are considering moving to The Chalfonts (Chalfont St Giles & Chalfont St Peter) or the surrounding villages, Stacks Buckinghamshire can provide invaluable advice to ensure that you get the right house, for the right price, in the right location, on the best terms and with the minimum of stress.
These two villages are close enough to share a search brief but distinct enough to suit different buyers.
Chalfont St Giles is a proper English village with half-timbered buildings, Quaker associations, winding lanes, and even a cottage where John Milton completed Paradise Lost in 1665. It sits in the Misbourne Valley, almost entirely within the AONB, and the scale of property on offer from substantial detached family homes to secluded plots with mature grounds.
Chalfont St Peter is larger and more self-contained. Home to around 13,000 people, it has everything you’d expect from a thriving village: a lively high street, active community life, and the Chiltern Open Air Museum on its outskirts.

For commuters, Gerrards Cross station is under two miles away with fast trains to Marylebone in 22 minutes, and Chalfont & Latimer is around four miles for tube connections.
Both sit between Beaconsfield, Gerrards Cross and Amersham, which gives buyers access to some of the best schools in the county.
Primary
Chalfont St Giles has its own Infant and Junior School (Village School), so anyone in the village itself has good odds there, distance and siblings being the main tie-breakers.
Chalfont St Peter has a choice of primaries: the Infant School and CofE Academy for juniors, plus St Joseph’s Catholic Primary if faith criteria apply. Gerrards Cross primaries are also realistically in reach for the eastern side of St Peter

Home to around 13,000 people, it has everything you’d expect from a thriving village: a lively high street, active community life, and the Chiltern Open Air Museum on its outskirts. Properties here often offer more land and space for the money than the neighbouring towns, which is a persuasive argument for families who’ve done the maths.
