Chesham

The short answer

You get the tangible amenities of a proper working town and direct access to the Chilterns, often at a lower price point than neighbouring towns. However, reaching the fast train to Euston requires a 13-minute drive over the hill to Berkhamsted, making a car a daily necessity for that commute.
