The location

Mentmore is a charming village in the Aylesbury Vale district of Buckinghamshire within the Parish of Mentmore, Crafton & Ledburn. Noted in the Domesday Book, the village has historic roots back to the time of Edward the Confessor who had a hunting lodge close to the where the infamous Mentmore Towers now stands. Today we see a quintessential English village, built and heavily influenced by the Rothschilds family who bought the Estate in the mid-1800s.

The Village Green takes centre stage, offering a tree-lined open space for all to enjoy. A playground caters for the children, whilst the much lauded independent and community owned public house 'The Stag' more than caters for the adults. There is a village hall which is often used by residents for community activities like table-tennis, watercolour painting and cinema nights. The village also plays host to two major events each year - the Mentmore Arts Festival and the Fete - all are welcomed from the community to volunteer and participate. This really is a charming place to live.

In terms of schooling, the villages of Wing, Cheddington, Long Marston and Wingrave, can all be reached within a five-ten minute drive and offer primary age schooling. For secondary schooling there is The Cottesloe School in Wing, or the Grammar Schools of Aylesbury.

Train services can be found at Cheddington providing a 40 minute journey-time into London Euston. By road, the A41, and A5 are both close, with access to the M1 and M25 motorways. Luton Airport can be reached within 30 minutes or so by car.
