This little group of buildings is called Gibraltar - and the thatched cottage on the left is known as "The Cottage at Gibraltar" as the little green sign says. There was also a Greene King pub here, at this lane's junction with the main A418. It was called "The Bottle and Glass" (though I seem to recall that it was at one time called "The Gibraltar", but I may be misremembering).At present however it is certainly not serving any ale (see Image]). This lane runs alongside the former pub and leads to a few more cottages.

This building was a Greene King pub called "The Bottle & Glass" at Gibraltar on the A418 southwest of Aylesbury. It is currently being virtually rebuilt - and by the looks of it considerably extended. As (from the signs) Greene King seem to be involved in the redevelopment, then hopefully it will re-open as a pub once more. I'll try to remember to take another photo of it once it has been completed. [Edit] I'm pleased to report that it's now fully refurbished - see Image]

This is the view of the rear of the former Bottle & Glass P.H. at Gibraltar on the A418 between Aylesbury and Thame. As can be seen the existing building has been gutted and the foundations of a very large extension can be seen to the rear of the photo. See also Image]
