Chalfont St Giles
Contemporary architectural design has been created to perfectly blend with the leafy natural surroundings in this thoughtful development in the Chiltern Hills, just 23 miles from London. Set on the edge of a charming village, Chalfont St Giles, the development has been built with sustainability in mind and features three wonderful homes; Yarrow, Campion, and Blackthorn.
Blurring the boundary between inside and outside
Each home at Birch Grove embodies the principles of biophilic design, integrating nature into the built environment. With substantial picture windows, sliding glass walls, and planted atriums, the boundaries between inside and out dissolve, creating voluminous, light-filled spaces.
Set at the end of a 100-metre-long private drive, each home has been named after local woodland plants and combines material elegance with a tranquil setting. Inside, spacious living areas are versatile and tranquil, whether you’re seeking a peaceful haven or a space for hosting.
Designed with the Earth in mind
The houses have been built to be utterly energy efficient, respecting the natural surroundings that inspired them. To make sure they are sustainable, the houses include solar panels and air-source heat pumps.
Thoughtful Design Principles
Where the distinction between indoor and outdoor spaces disappears, and interiors harmonise with natural surroundings through sliding glass elevations, open-air atriums, and planted courtyards, Birch Grove shares impressive design elements. Grand pitched ceilings, vast living areas, striking real wood fireplaces, and magnificent vistas, combine to deliver unique spaces where each home retains its individuality and distinct features.
The homes draw inspiration from timeless agricultural forms, showcasing slatted timber cladding and Flemish bond brickwork sourced from Battersea Power Station. These design details give the houses a contemporary feel and ensure their aesthetics mature gracefully alongside the evolving landscape.
An Unparalleled Location
The development's proximity to cultural and heritage sites, top-notch education, and excellent transport links make it an ideal location for discerning buyers seeking both capital and country living. Chalfont St Giles is a well-connected village that predates the Domesday Book. Known for the chalk streams throughout the Chiltern Hills, the village has a picturesque duck pond, green, and a thriving ecosystem of independent shops. The Chalfonts, a trio of quintessentially English villages, provide a perfect blend of unspoiled country life with modern amenities and fast transport links to Heathrow, central London, and the City, just 23 miles away.
