About Denham
Denham sits just over the M25 in South Buckinghamshire, centred on a conservation area along Village Road and the green. The housing stock runs from Tudor and Georgian cottages to listed farmhouses and substantial detached homes set back behind hedges and gravel drives. Denham Film Studios opened on the village edge in 1935 and recorded scores for Vertigo, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Star Wars before the buildings came down in 1981; the legacy still shapes how the village markets itself. Buyers here are typically families priced out of Gerrards Cross or Beaconsfield, and Marylebone-bound professionals who want acreage, hedgerows and a cricket green within 30 minutes of central London. Entry-level cottages start around £600,000. Family detached homes sit between £1.1m and £2m. Country houses on Hollybush Lane and Halings Lane regularly exceed £3m.

Cottages start around £600,000, family detached £1.1m–£2m, premium country houses £3m and above.
Living in Denham
The conservation area along Village Road and the green is the heart of village life. Denham Cricket Club plays on the green through summer. Denham Country Park and the Colne Valley Regional Park sit on the doorstep, with riverside paths along the Misbourne and the Grand Union Canal nearby. The Swan Inn and The Falcon — the latter 16th-century, facing the green — handle pub duties. Denham Village School is the local primary, and the Buckinghamshire 11+ system gives access to Dr Challoner's and the wider grammar-school catchment.
