When we were instructed to market this beautiful home on Spout Lane, the owners were understandably disheartened. The property had previously been marketed without success by James Millard Estate Agents. Although the house occupied a wonderful rural setting with huge potential, the grounds are held on a lease from the National Trust, creating an unusual ownership arrangement that significantly reduced the number of buyers and lenders prepared to proceed.

| Outcome | Successfully Sold |
This was never going to be a straightforward sale. We needed to find a buyer who appreciated the property’s character, understood the National Trust lease arrangement and could secure finance with a lender comfortable with the title.
We actively marketed the property to carefully matched buyers rather than simply waiting for enquiries. Every viewing was fully qualified and we took time to explain both the property’s outstanding features and the legal arrangements. Throughout the campaign we conducted 16 accompanied viewings, maintained regular communication with the owners and refined our strategy using buyer feedback.
The buyers have exciting plans to sympathetically renovate the property while preserving its
character, making this a particularly rewarding sale for everyone involved.
