Beaconsfield is bursting to the brim with millionaires, and it’s not hard to see why.

An area with gorgeous homes, both an old and new town, and a nature reserve, the market town certainly has a lot to offer. 

In 2019, Forbes placed Beaconsfield as one of the top 10 UK richest towns, ranked by the number of millionaires living there. 

Windsor is the richest town, with 250 multi-millionaires, and is followed by Ascot, Virginia Water, Leatherhead, Weybridge, Henley, Marlow Bray, Beaconsfield and Cookham.

Less than 25 miles north west of the centre of London, Beaconsfield is located on Junction 2 of the M40. 

The South Buckinghamshire town is situated in the Chiltern Hills.

Given its proximity to the capital, Beaconsfield is seen as a commuter town. The train station is served by Chiltern Railways and there are regular trains into London.  

Property prices in Beaconsfield are on the rise, as sold prices last year were up 5 percent from the previous year, and up 10 percent from 2020.

According to Rightmove, the average property price in Beaconsfield is £1,239,719, so it is no wonder the town is filled with the ultra wealthy.

Most of the properties sold in Beaconsfield last year were detached properties, which sold for an average price of £1,780,230.

Meanwhile, semi-detached properties sold for an average price of £728,929 and flats went for £477,789. 

The town has the best of both worlds thanks to its division into an “old town” and a “new town”. 

The old town features a main street with shops and pubs, and on Tuesdays there is a weekly market, in addition to the monthly farmers market. 

Meanwhile, the new town consists of well-known highstreet shops like M&S. 

Beaconsfield is also home to Bekonscot Model Village – the world’s oldest and original model village which opened back in 1929. 

Those living in Beaconsfield won’t be wanting for green space, as the area has its own local nature reserve called Holtspur Bank. An area of about 6.47 hectares, it boasts different species of orchids, butterflies, and other plants.  

Those living in the charming town are also familiar with the Town Crier.

In fact, Mr Richard Smith has spent over 40 years in the job and there have actually only been three Town Criers in Beaconsfield since 1990.
