Ellwood Hall is an outstanding development of just four exceptionally gracious three bedroom apartments and one magnificent three bedroom penthouse suite.

Set well back from Nightingales Lane along an imposing and leafy driveway, Ellwood Hall stands in grounds which are breathtakingly beautiful, particularly in the Spring when rhododendrons, bluebells and magnolia trees provide a kaleidoscopic backdrop of rich and colourful beauty.
The materials selected for the creation of this fine new building pay tribute to the heritage it seeks to recreate; the mellow coloured artstone columns, the formality of fenestration with the traditional red brickwork all confirm Ellwood Hall as a structure of classic pedigree.
The design and level of specification of these exceptional properties have been carefully considered and devised to create homes of luxurious comfort and a source of pride for residents.
So, for those wishing to live this most beautiful setting, in a secure and peaceful environment enjoying an unparalleled level of sophisticated comfort, Ellwood Hall is without doubt the right address
Ellwood – a brief history
Ellwood Hall takes its name from Thomas Ellwood (1639- 1713), a religious writer and Quaker who lived for many years in Chalfont St Giles. He was a close friend and contemporary of John Milton and it is suggested that the inspiration for his scholarly works, Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained, arose from their deep philosophical conversations.
The property now occupied by Ellwood Hall has a rich and interesting history and was once a part of the land of an important manor of the parish, The Vache. It was granted by William the Conqueror following The Conquest in 1066 to a Norman lord called de La Vache. It subsequently passed to the Fleetwood family but was forfeited to the realm at the time of the Restoration as Thomas Fleetwood, Treasurer of the Mint to the Commonwealth had signed, Charles I's death warrant!
In the 1920’s the land of the original Vache Manor along Nightingales Lane was sub- divided and sold for residential development. Ellwood Hall now stands on the formerly called Hermits Wood whose gardens and woodlands have been restored and enhanced for the benefit and enjoyment of the residents of this grand new manor house.
