Location

You couldn’t ask for a more quintessentially English village setting than this, adjoining the common and just a stroll from the Squirrel public house, which overlooks the cricket ground on the green, it is so idyllic you can almost hear the sound of leather on willow. Yet you are only a short drive of all the arterial routes for commuting by road or rail. Penn Street is fortunate to have two public houses, a sought-after primary school, gym and village church with its notable steeple. The local walks are spectacular through 435 acres of ancient woodland known as Penn Wood part of the Chilterns aonb.

Shopping and recreational facilities can be found in nearby Amersham, Beaconsfield and High Wycombe, all of which have rail services into London Marylebone or Baker Street in as little as 30 minutes. The local school education options are second to none, with the Grammar Schools in Amersham and High Wycombe, plus the option of Godstow preparatory School.
