At Fine & Country we understand moving home is one of the most important decisions you can make; your home is both a financial and emotional investment.

We take the instruction to sell your home as a privilege, an honour and as a very serious commitment to you. Through excellent marketing, we deliver an efficient sales process and a courteous, careful service.

People buy as much into the lifestyle of the property as they do the bricks and mortar. Exclusive properties require a bespoke and imaginative promotional approach. Recognising this, we have designed a unique and successful marketing strategy, enhancing the lifestyle of the property.

The widespread exposure of your property is also crucial. In todays market not only is the mobility of buyers greater than ever, but also the ways in which they may access information.

Your prospective buyer could come from, quite literally, anywhere - through local and regional marketing, through national newspapers and magazines or, increasingly, internationally using the interactive technologies such as the internet, touchscreens and mobile phones.

Instruct us and you could benefit from our knowledge, experience, expertise and contacts and our well trained, educated and courteous staff. You are assisted, advised and informed through each stage of the whole transaction.

Every Fine & Country property consultant is a member of either The Property Ombudsman or the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.

A strategy for success

It is a case of presenting and promoting your property as if it were our own.

Hollycombe is a quiet residential road of just 14 or 15 detached houses, believed to have been built in the early 1970s. It is tucked away in a secluded position off Coopers Hill Lane, one of the villages premier roads and next to the tennis club and close to the Royal Air Forces Memorial.

No. 3 is approached via an in & out driveway and set back about 75 with a good amount of lawn, fruit trees and a double width garage with twin electric doors. The house requires refurbishment, which could go in tandem with an extension, as there is plenty of scope to do this (S.T.P.P.) and greatly enhance both the size and value, particularly as it enjoys a lovely secluded 90/100 southerly facing rear garden.

The Point is a stunningly designed new development of five luxury apartments, situated on the cliffs above a quiet cove with panoramic sea views.

Located on the ground floor, it is probably one of the most delightful apartments to be found in any area, rivalling even Londons finest. The view from the open plan living room through a virtual wall of windows and glass doors is breathtaking. It opens onto a patio where you can watch the sun rise over the sea and, in the early evening enjoy a drink while flotillas of yachts dance by on the waves.

The kitchen is equipped to satisfy the needs of any demanding cook, with a light blue Aga range, two built-in electric ovens, warming draw, zip hot water, fridge, freezer, wine cooler and a large hob on the beautiful marble centrepiece. The two double bedrooms each have an en suite and built-in bedroom furniture.

There is a large garage and additional parking space within this gated complex. Indeed this lock up and leave apartment would make an excellent holiday home.

This delightful late Edwardian style detached family home has been beautifully extended by the present owners creating a wonderfully balanced marriage where all the comforts and luxuries expected in the 21st Century live harmoniously with the period features of a bygone era.

Once inside the house you can really appreciate the warm welcoming feeling that is unique to stripped pine flooring, open fireplaces, lofty ceilings and the charm of leaded light windows. There is so much to like about this house, our favourites were the modern

kitchen cum living dining area, occupying about 435 sq. ft. with two sets of bi fold doors opening into the rear garden. The master bedroom is equally breathtaking, again a vast space with French windows and Juliette balcony overlooking the rear garden, plenty of built-in wardrobe space and private dog leg staircase rising to a fabulous mezzanine bath and shower room. This really is a perfect family home having two further reception rooms, four double bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms. The plot extends to 0.24 of an acre.

Before purchasing North Manor House, we had sold our house and bought a plot of land by the sea on which to build a new home, says Brian. We were looking for somewhere to rent in the meantime, and stumbled across this house. Its such a beautiful home in a stunning location that rather than find a rental somewhere else we decided to buy, and have ended up enjoying five wonderful years here.*

An exquisite Georgian farmhouse, Bolton Farm offers a unique opportunity to purchase a substantial family home, which exudes an abundance of character and is steeped in local history.

Dating back to 1780 the property has seen significant change over the years and the current vendors have continued to refurbish the property, using reclaimed materials wherever possible to reflect its long history, whilst aiming to create a home which works equally well for modern day living.

Bolton Farm enjoys a plot of approximately 10 acres of land which includes a large spring fed lake, stable and further outbuildings, and viewing is unhesitatingly recommended at your earliest convenience.

LOWER SLAUGHTERGLOUCESTERSHIRE 659,950

Situated on the edge of the village of Lower Slaughter, West Allotment Cottage is a Cotswold stone-built property originally commissioned by the Whitmore family for their estate workers during the latter part of the 19th Century. The Whitmores were Lords of the Manor and until the 1960s the internationally renowned Manor House Hotel was their country home. They were great benefactors. During 1867, in the same year as the cottage was built, the Whitmores re-built St Marys church and a few years later added the village hall, originally as a gentlemans reading room.

Their investment, combined with the beauty of local mellow stone, rustic architecture and serendipitous position straddling the shallow River Windrush, is without a doubt why Lower Slaughter has become one of the most famous of all villages in the Cotswolds. Serene and picturesque, set amongst open countryside and yet only a stones throw from the amenities of Stow on the Wold and Bourton-on-the-Water, the gorgeous chocolate box appeal of this quintessentially Cotswold village ensures that every home commands a high premium.

Hafod y Werydd was built in 1934 by Major Gwilym Lloyd-George (First Viscount Tenby), one of the younger sons of former Prime Minister David Lloyd-George primarily as a holiday home. The house name means Summer retreat at the ocean. During the last 80 years it has been a hotel, and a care home. When the vendors took it on it was very rundown, but they have transformed it into a stylish and well proportioned family home. The indoor swimming pool will be popular with all members of the family. There are a number of ground floor rooms that could be used as an annexe with its own independent entrance. Hafod y Werydd is situated in the popular Heywood Lane part of the seaside town of Tenby.

Dyffryn House


Thought to be on the site of the oldest house in Goodwick, this Grade II Listed farmhouse dates from the early 19th Century, but has surviving timbers from the 17th Century. The property offers considerable potential, but is in need of modernisation. It could easily be split into a number of apartments, or would offer potential both as a family home, or holiday let property. Conveniently situated in the village of Goodwick which has a primary school, health centre, post office, small supermarket, library and village shops within walking distance. One mile further afield lies the town of Fishguard with more shops, secondary school, cinema, leisure centre, etc.

The Goodwick ferry port is only a short distance from the property providing swift access to Ireland and there is also a twice-daily train service to London Paddington.
