Where is Buckinghamshire?
For those not living in the area here is some general information on Buckinghamshire:
Buckinghamshire is surrounded to the South by London, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire; many areas are commuter belts. Buckinghamshire is divided into sections South Buckinghamshire, Chilterns, Wycombe, Aylesbury Vale and Milton Keynes (the largest place in Buckinghamshire) and Aylesbury (the original county town). Buckinghamshire is in an area of southern England with beautiful countryside of The Vale of Aylesbury, The Chilterns and the Thames Valley with some quintessentially English towns and villages and magnificent stately homes and historical buildings. Buckinghamshire is also a county of contrasting modern towns such as Milton Keynes and Newport Pagnell and delightful historic towns and villages such as Woburn and Marlow.

A surveyors quick guide on properties in Buckinghamshire
If we were asked what a typical older style of property for the Buckinghamshire area was we would say a soft red brick with lime mortar possibly decorated with flint. As we go into Buckinghamshire and the Aylesbury Vale district you may see some cows grazing, particularly near to the Aston Clinton and Weston Turville turning which also goes to Halton with its RAF base.
In the suburbs of Aylesbury you will notice the large detached post war properties with classic designs and their vertical hung tiles to their square bays, some with single bays and some with double fronted bays with some of the bays running all across the property, many of them rendered with the render painted. Just before you turn off to Stoke Mandeville with the famous hospital, on the Tring Rd on the way into Aylesbury you will see lots of classic red brick and rendered properties which are predominantly white painted render although there are a few cream colours and also some with the timber effect that was so popular in the 1930s giving a mock Tudor look and also some have decorative lead detailing around some of their bay windows.
The town centre is straight on and the A41 diverts along Oakfield Rd through an area of 1970s properties some in what is known as cross wall construction which is brick with rendered panels where the weight is taken predominantly on the outer walls rather than the perimeter walls. |
