Smart, stylish and slightly hidden away, St Mary's Court is close to the parish church, just off the Market Place in the Old Town. The traditional brick and red-tiled properties, all of which are spacious and have private terraces or balconies, overlook a formally-landscaped courtyard garden, laid to lawn with pathways, herbaceous borders and delightful stone statues.In the days of the stagecoach, Old Beaconsfield was the first stop on the road from London to Oxford and some of the former coaching inns still remain today.

The market place has a weekly general market and monthly farmers' market. It is a prosperous town and there are shops for everyday needs, a tearoom and plenty of restaurants nearby. The New Town, a mile away, has a wide variety of shops and cultural pursuits and there is a regular train service to London. Just a few miles to the east lies Colne Valley Park, which offers over 40 square miles of countryside and is host to a river, a canal and more than 60 lakes. There are also several attractive National Trust properties in the locality, such as the 18th-Century country house at West Wycombe Park and the former home of the Astor family at Cliveden with glorious gardens overlooking the Thames.

Cognatum Estates Limited maintains, repairs and insures all the buildings, arranges the window cleaning and refuse collection and tends to the gardens and grounds thereby freeing owners and residents from these responsibilities. There is a laundry facility on site and a guest suite provides comfortable accommodation for family and friends. Resident Estate Managers make this an ideal 'Lock Up & Leave' property and are on hand to provide support and help when needed. The cost of providing these services is shared equally between all properties.
