De Vere Latimer Estate is steeped in history, with its origins tracing back to 1194 AD when the first mention of a manor house at Latimer was recorded. Over the centuries, the estate transitioned through the hands of English nobility before playing a pivotal role during World War II as a top-secret centre for military intelligence, earning its reputation as one of Britain’s most discreet and influential locations. Today, following a £7 million refurbishment, the estate beautifully combines modern luxury with its historic charm. Guests can experience bold contemporary spaces and sophisticated suites, perfectly suited for memorable events and breathtaking weddings.
Located just a 10-minute drive from Junction 18 of the M25 and only 5 minutes by car or taxi from Chalfont & Latimer station, with direct Metropolitan Line access to central London, the estate is ideally positioned for both local and international travellers. It is also conveniently close to Heathrow and Luton airports and within 20 minutes of the world-renowned Warner Bros. Studios Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter.
When it’s time to relax, De Vere Latimer Estate offers a range of fully refurbished bedrooms inspired by the revival of British heritage design. Guests can also explore 30 acres of tranquil grounds, formal gardens, and enjoy panoramic views of the picturesque Chess Valley.
