Fenwick House
A Georgian house with a walled garden, rebuilt inside for the way people live now.
Fenwick sits at the end of a lime avenue outside Bruton, with stables, a walled kitchen garden and twelve acres of parkland. The last owners spent four years on it. The sash windows, cornicing and staircase stayed. Everything behind the walls is new: wiring, heating, a kitchen that runs the full depth of the house.
It's the kind of place people stay in for thirty years. We'd like the next owners to be those people.

From our clients
"They sold our house in three weeks, to a family who'd never have found it on a portal."
"Honest about the price from the first visit. We got more than they said, and they never once oversold it."
"James rang us about a house before it was listed. We bought it that weekend. That's the whole review."

Questions
Asked often.
Anything else, ring the office. A partner answers.
What do you charge to sell?
A percentage of the final sale price, agreed in writing at the valuation. There's nothing to pay until the sale completes, and no charge for the film, photography or floor plan.
Can you sell my home off-market?
Yes. More than half our sales are agreed with buyers we already know, before a home goes online. It suits sellers who want privacy, and buyers like being first.
How do you work out a valuation?
From recent comparable sales, the condition of the house, land and outbuildings, and what our current buyers are asking for. You get the figure and the reasoning in writing.
How long does a sale take?
In England, usually twelve to sixteen weeks from an agreed offer to completion. Chains, surveys and listed building consents can stretch that, so we chase every week.
Do you help buyers find a home?
Register with us and tell us what you want. When something fits, often before it's listed, a partner will call you first.
Do I need an EPC before marketing?
Yes, homes in England need a valid Energy Performance Certificate to be marketed. Listed buildings can be an exception. We can arrange one for you.
