Horse riding is a great way to explore the hills on a network of bridleways and there are plenty of riding centres to choose from.

The Ridgeway lies to the north-west of the site. It is a long distance path, which follows the northern border of the Chilterns for many miles. The western half of the trail is a marvellous route for horse riders and a further 9 mile stretch through The Chilterns can also be ridden west of Princes Risborough.

Land Prices

Land prices are predicted to increase by up to 10% in the first half of this year alone. Farmers looking to expand are expected to compete fiercely with investors for land as it becomes more well-known as an asset class with a proven track record of capital growth. Unlike many other investments, land can also offer lifestyle opportunities that can be enjoyed.

While economic turmoil prevails in financial markets, land is still regarded a safe haven for investment particularly in the context of other asset classes. The capital value growth of UK farmland is forecast to outperform many commodities markets.

The value of farmland is over treble the price being achieved 10 years ago and almost doubles that of 5 years ago. Property agents and surveyors agree that the medium term prospects for farmland values (in terms of capital growth) are extremely positive and an excellent hedge against inflation.

RICS Rural Land Market Survey

The latest RICS Rural Land Market Survey reports that farmland prices increased by 11% in the last 6 months alone resulting in an annual increase in land prices of 19%. Looking ahead, surveyors expect the current trend in rising land prices to continue.

Stokenchurch is a large village and civil parish within the county of Buckinghamshire one of the most affluent parts of the country. It is located just inside the county border with Oxfordshire, six miles west of High Wycombe and 11 miles south of Aylesbury.

Surrounded by peaceful countryside within the Chiltern Hills the village is a popular place to live due to its ease of access to London and Birmingham. Stokenchurch is situated on the main A40 road and has its own junction off the M40, which connects London to Birmingham. This desirable location, superb transport links and recent housing developments have increased the population of Stokenchurch greatly in recent years.

The large town of High Wycombe is nearby and is currently undergoing extensive redevelopment, including the development of the town’s existing shopping centre and the completion of the new Eden shopping centre; one of the largest in the country and a major milestone in the regeneration of the town.

These developments have brought new life to the town and caused an influx of interest, with larger apartment buildings and a new multi-million pound hotel being built in the centre, a new Sainsbury’s store and the redevelopment of the University together with a large student village.

The county town of Aylesbury can be found to the north. The town was one of those chosen for major population growth to house the London overspill. Aylesbury’s population has double in the last 50 years due to new housing developments.

At the same time, the centre of Aylesbury has been redeveloped with new shopping areas, pubs and restaurants. Together with three major industrial centres this ensures the town has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country.

Aylesbury’s growth is far from over with several new developments due to take place in the coming years including a major housing development in the north and the £100 million Waterside project, which will create over a thousand new jobs. The population of the Aylesbury Vale district is expected to grow to around 215,000 people by 2026.

If plans to increase the size of the town go ahead, suburban Aylesbury could well meet up with surrounding villages.

The area is popular with commuters as it has excellent road and rail links. The land lies just off the A40, a major trunk road connecting London to Wales and is one of the few remaining routes not to have been superseded by a direct motorway link.

The village is served by the M40 motorway and both the A4010 towards Aylesbury and A404 towards Marlow and Amersham are close by. The latter also connects the M40 to the M4.

The train station at Princes Risborough offers quick and direct travel to Bicester, Aylesbury and London in under an hour.
