St Mary’s Court

Beaconsfield Old Town | Buckinghamshire

Discreetly convenient in a prosperous market town

Smart, stylish and slightly hidden away, St Mary’s Court is close to the parish church, just off the Market Place in the Old Town. The traditional brick and red-tiled properties, all of which are spacious and have private terraces or balconies, overlook a formally-landscaped courtyard garden, laid to lawn with pathways, herbaceous borders and delightful stone statues.

In the days of the stagecoach, Old Beaconsfield was the first stop on the road from London to Oxford and some of the former coaching inns still remain today. The market place has a weekly general market and monthly farmers’ market. It is a prosperous town and there are shops for everyday needs, a tearoom and plenty of restaurants nearby. The New Town, a mile away, has a wide variety of shops and cultural pursuits and there is a regular train service to London. Just a few miles to the east lies Colne Valley Park, which offers over 40 square miles of countryside and is host to a river, a canal and more than 60 lakes. There are also several attractive National Trust properties in the locality, such as the 18th-Century country house at West Wycombe Park and the former home of the Astor family at Cliveden with glorious gardens overlooking the Thames.
