Chalfont's Newland Park development transforms country manor

Sitting on 200 acres of historic grounds in Chalfont St Giles, the upcoming Newland Park scheme by developer Comer Homes includes 74 houses and apartments, a spa and sport facilities with a swimming pool and tennis courts, a bar and restaurant, round the clock security and free shuttle bus to local stations.

The luxury homes are designed around the Grade II listed Georgian mansion with connections to King George III, Emmeline Pankhurst and the Suffragette movement and poets and playwrights H.G Wells, George Bernard Shaw and John Milton.

Comer Homes’ sales and marketing director Caroline Comer said: “We have had an exceptional response to the launch of the first phase at Newland Park.

“Since we started promoting the development there have been a strong flow of enquiries from a mixture of buyers looking to make this iconic scheme their home.

“Our history is steeped in delivering exceptional large-scale developments that feature a mixture of period regeneration and new-build homes set on breath-taking grounds, but this will take things to a whole new level.

“Newland Park offers the perfect balance of country living within easy reach of the city and will offer purchasers a rare opportunity to live on a private country estate.” 

Dating back to 1903, Newland Park was created by the landscape designer Thomas Mawson.

Some of its most eminent guests included King George III, who hunted on the grounds with the owner Henry Gott, for which a stone statue called Gott’s Monument was erected to mark the death of a stag killed by the king.

Thanks to privacy offered by the thick woodland surrounding the site, between 1910 and 1921 the estate became a safe haven for Emmeline Pankhurst and numerous Suffragette members under the ownership of politician and women’s rights advocate Henry Devenish Harben and his wife Agnes Harben, who founded the United Suffragists.

The poet John Milton regularly walked on the grounds, and he wrote Paradise Lost poem while residing at the nearby Milton’s Cottage.

While respecting the rich history of the estate and its design, Newland Park will include several modern-day amenities such as swimming pool, tennis courts, Racquets club, multi-sport pitches, Padel court and an inflatable dome open to both residents and the public as well as underground parking with electric vehicle charging.

The area is also known for the Chiltern Open Air Museum, which sits on land also owned by Comer Homes adjacent to Newland Park.
