The House.
Set at the heart of the village of Whitchurch and commanding extraordinary, uninterrupted views across the Vale of Aylesbury, Bolebec House is a substantial and atmospheric country residence of exceptional architectural interest. Constructed of stone and brick beneath a gabled façade, the house has evolved organically over four centuries, resulting in a home of great character, depth and flexibility.
The earliest part of the house dates to the 16th century, still clearly identifiable in the library wing, reputedly built using stone salvaged from the ruins of nearby Bolebec Castle. Subsequent centuries introduced thoughtful additions and refinements, most notably during the Victorian period, evident in the elegant staircase and brick elevations. In the early 20th century the house was home to the family of celebrated artist Rex Whistler, who famously painted The Vale of Aylesbury from the grounds in 1933.
In recent years, the current owners have undertaken an extensive and sensitive programme of refurbishment and modernisation, preserving the home`s historic integrity while introducing contemporary comforts. The addition of a bespoke orangery in 2022 has further enhanced the connection between the house, gardens and views.
The accommodation extends to approximately 5,486 sq ft, arranged over four floors, and offers outstanding versatility. An integral west wing can function as guest accommodation, a self-contained annexe or a professional home office with independent access. This is complemented by a separate two-bedroom cottage, ideal for staff, guests or multi-generational living.
Principal Reception Spaces.

The formal entrance hall, with its striking Victorian pseudo-Jacobean staircase, sets an immediate tone of elegance. Limestone floors with underfloor heating flow through much of the ground floor, creating cohesion and understated luxury.
The open-plan kitchen/breakfast room is a superb family and entertaining space, measuring over 25 feet in length. Dual aspect, it features bi-fold doors opening onto the rear terrace, a traditional five-oven AGA set within a substantial chimney breast, and a newly fitted Shaker-style kitchen with quartz work surfaces and a central island. Sliding doors lead through to a generous dining room, seamlessly connecting to the orangery beyond. This beautifully designed space enjoys south and east-facing glazing, a lantern roof with electronic ventilation, air conditioning, and bespoke cabinetry an exceptional vantage point from which to enjoy the gardens and far-reaching views throughout the seasons. Further reception rooms include a characterful library/sitting room within the original 16th-century structure, featuring rich panelling, extensive shelving and a wood-burning stove, as well as a snug/cinema room and a refined study with stained glass bay window.
