Shrubs Wood is a privately owned, Grade II* listed, Art Deco country house in Chalfont St Giles, Buckinghamshire, England. Built between 1933-4, Shrubs Wood was designed by Erich Mendelsohn and Serge Chermayeff. It is one of only two residential properties designed during their short partnership (the other is Cohen House in Chelsea, London). Shrubs Wood is notable for its exterior, staircase and integrated furniture. It is unique as a Modernist interpretation of the traditional English country house and is considered an important example of "mature" Modernism. Shrubs Wood was originally named Nimmo House, before being renamed by Bridget D'Oyly Carte when she bought the property in 1949.
Shrubs Wood has been used as a period location for film and TV series such as Poirot, Midsomer Murders and Endeavour.
