Church Place

Ickenham | Greater London

A serene village in the heart of suburbia

Until the arrival of the railway in 1905, Ickenham was a remote rural village with a population of little more than 300 people. Today it is a thriving London suburb in Hillingdon. Church Place however, built in the former paddock and farmyard of Home Farm, retains much of the serenity of its past, like the nearby ornate village pump and pond. The estate has cottages and apartments around two charming garden courtyards and a large timbered barn restored for social events.

Ickenham has a wide range of shops and other facilities and is served by the Metropolitan and Piccadilly lines, making it ideal for pensioners who may travel into London free of charge. Despite its London location, it is a lively village at heart, with an annual community festival, rugby and cricket clubs and a wealth of societies. Ruislip Golf Club is a few minutes away by car, as is Bayhurst Wood Country Park with its abundance of birds and wildflowers. The estate is very well-placed for travel by road, rail and air.
