Chequers Court

Chequers, or Chequers Court, is the country house of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. A 16th century manor house in origin, it is located near the village of Ellesborough, halfway between Princes Risborough and Wendover in Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom, at the foot of the Chiltern Hills. It is about 40 miles (64 km) north west of central London. Coombe Hill, once part of the estate, is located two thirds of a mile (1.1 km) northeast. Chequers has been the country home of the serving Prime Minister since 1921, after the estate was gifted to the nation by Arthur Lee in the Chequers Estate Act 1917. The house is listed Grade I on the National Heritage List for England.
