Introduction

Finding a location that perfectly balances easy access into the city, whilst being in the serenity of the countryside is a rare achievement, but Chorleywood effortlessly delivers just that. Located on the fringes of London yet situated in the tranquillity of the Chiltern Hills, this leafy Hertfordshire village is a hidden gem for commuters and families alike. Robsons have been privileged to help countless clients make their home in Chorleywood a place where timeless charm meets modern convenience. With its exceptional connectivity, outstanding schools and scenic open spaces, Chorleywood offers an enviable lifestyle for those seeking a peaceful environment without straying too far from the capital.

Prime Location for Commuters

One of Chorleywood’s most positive qualities is its outstanding transport infrastructure. The village is served by the Metropolitan Line on the London Underground, offering direct access to Baker Street, King’s Cross and other key destinations within London. Additionally, Chiltern Railways operates fast services to London Marylebone, offering commuters multiple options for a smooth and stress-free journey into the city.

This excellent connectivity is enhanced by its convenient proximity to major road networks. The M25 motorway is just a short drive away, allowing easy access to Heathrow Airport and the wider motorway system, including the M1 and M40. For professionals who travel regularly or work in central London, Chorleywood represents an ideal base. In this setting you can begin your day with a brisk walk through the woods and still arrive at your office in under an hour.

Many of our clients relocating to the area cite this ease of travel as a key factor in their decision. It is a location that allows you to embrace the best of both worlds.

Countryside Appeal

While Chorleywood’s transport links are undoubtedly impressive, what truly sets it apart is the area’s natural beauty and rural character. The village is nestled within the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offering easy access to rolling hills, open fields and ancient woodland. This setting provides residents with ample opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors, whether that is dog walking on Chorleywood Common, weekend rambles along the Chess Valley Walk or summer picnics in nearby woodland glades.

Chorleywood Common is a much-loved community feature in itself. Spanning over 200 acres, this expanse of grassland and woodland is home to wildlife, recreational facilities and a tranquil nine-hole golf course and energetic cricket pitch. It serves as a central gathering point for residents of all ages and significantly contributes to the village’s peaceful and rural character.

For those drawn to nature and still needing daily access to London, Chorleywood offers a truly unique combination.

Community and Lifestyle

Despite its status as a popular commuter destination, Chorleywood retains a strong sense of community and a village-like spirit that is often lost in larger urban areas. Residents here take pride in their locality and the community is both welcoming and close-knit.

The village high street offers a charming selection of independent retailers, cafés, bakeries and local businesses, alongside everyday conveniences such as pharmacies and grocery stores.

We frequently hear from clients who are relocating from more built-up areas and are pleasantly surprised by how quickly they settle into village life.

Educational Excellence

Education is often a primary consideration for families looking to move home and Chorleywood excels in this regard. The area is home to several highly rated schools, both state and independent, making it an attractive location for those seeking a quality education for their children.

Chorleywood Primary School is rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted and is highly sought after for its excellent teaching and supportive community. Nearby, The Russell School also enjoys a strong local reputation and holds an ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted rating, with a friendly and inclusive environment. Christ Church C of E School, located just outside the village centre, is another popular choice, offering a values-led approach and also rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted.

For those considering private education, York House School in nearby Sarratt offers a co-educational independent experience for ages 3–13, set in beautiful countryside grounds and known for its holistic approach to learning.
