Chenies Manor House
Welcome to Chenies Manor House & Gardens, a 15th Century Grade 1 Listed heritage property on the Buckinghamshire border with Hertfordshire.
This family home is set in the charming estate village of Chenies and overlooking the natural beauty of the surrounding Chiltern Hills and Chess Valley. Architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner described the house as “beautifully mellow under the trees by the church, and archaeologically a fascinating puzzle”.
Whether you are interested in the Tudor architecture or the award-winning gardens, or just a slice of homemade cake and a cup of tea, we hope you will visit and enjoy exploring this extraordinary home and learning a little more about its fascinating past.
The house and gardens are open from 2pm on Mondays and Tuesdays during our open season. Also see details of all forthcoming special events throughout the year.
Since circa 1165, Chenies has been a residence to just three families (apart from being a royal Manor in Medieval times) Cheyne, Russell and MacLeod Matthews.
Architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner visited Chenies Manor House in the 1960s and described it as: "Beautifully mellow under the trees by the church, and archaeologically a fascinating puzzle."
Chenies Manor House features a wide range of rooms, some of which can be visited during one of our guided tours. Check out this room by room virtual guide.
