Situation

Ibstone sits high in the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, edged by bluebell woods and home to a great variety of wildlife. The village has just 200 residents and there is a great sense of community and a thriving cricket club which plays on the village green. The origins of the village can be traced back to the 8th century and the name derives from Ibba’s Stones, later recorded in the Doomsday book as Hibestanes. There has been a parish church here for over a thousand years. There is a popular Church of England Primary School and a 300 year old pub, The Chilterns Fox.

Trains to London, Marylebone are from High Wycombe station (10 miles) and access to the M40 (J5) is just 1.5 miles away. Being in Buckinghamshire, residents of Ibstone are eligible for the superb Grammar School system, rated by many as being the equivalent of (or better than) many private schools. There are wonderful walks in the village across the common land and along the various footpaths in the Chilterns.
