House with garden and terrace Aylesbury (United Kingdom)
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 fa?ade, 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 three 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. . 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, alongside air-conditioning in various rooms. 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. Bedroom Accommodation. The principal suite occupies a prime position on the first floor and has been conceived in the style of a luxury hotel. It includes a private drawing room with original fireplace, a serene bedroom with fitted storage, and a beautifully appointed en suite bathroom with roll-top bath and walk-in shower. There are six further bedrooms arranged across the upper floors, most with en suite facilities, combining historic charm exposed beams, leaded windows and vaulted ceilings with modern comfort and excellent storage. Thatched Barn Annexe. Attached yet independent, the newly converted 17th-century thatched barn provides an exceptional additional dwelling, ideal for extended family or guests. It offers a kitchen, sitting room, shower room and two vaulted bedrooms, all finished to a high standard and enjoying views across the grounds. The seperate two bedroom cottage, positioned near the entrance, offers further flexibility and includes its own garden courtyard, garage access, and independent street entrance. Gardens, Parkland & Grounds. The 22 acres of gardens and paddock are a defining feature of Bolebec House and have changed little since Whistler`s time. Formal gardens immediately surround the house, with terraces, lawns and mature planting designed to frame the panoramic views. Beyond lie parkland-style gardens enclosed by hedging and fencing, dotted with specimen trees and apple orchards. A charming water garden with pond, waterfall and stone bridge adds to the sense of tranquillity. Further paddocks, meadowland, and woodland extend down into the valley, rich in wildlife and offering exceptional amenity for equestrian or recreational use. Situation.
