Framers Court is a beautifully-crafted estate of flint and brick cottages and apartments, built on different levels. The name commemorates a small chair-makers’ workshop that stood there in Victorian times, when that was the principal industry in the area. The estate is tucked into a sheltered hollow just off the high street. There is a lower-garden courtyard with a grand flight of steps leading to a more formal courtyard and then a further flight of steps to an archway and lychgate leading directly to the shops. All the levels are accessible without the need to climb stairs.
Lane End is a pretty village high in the Chilterns with beechwoods and rolling countryside all around. As well as two wonderful pubs, the village has some good shops, a hairdresser, delicatessen and supermarket, and the Village Hall hosts a variety of clubs and societies. This is ideal walking country, with a network of footpaths linking Lane End to nearby villages and making it easy to enjoy the estate’s location in the heart of the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and right on the doorstep of the Aston Rowant National Nature Reserve. Golf enthusiasts will be spoilt for choice, with more than 10 clubs within a 10-mile radius of the estate.
