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.

This deceptively spacious, detached family home is situated in one of Swanseas most desirable addresses and only moments from the family friendly beach at Langland. Offering versatile accommodation which is presented beautifully with a blend of traditional features and modern luxuries. Due to the generous layout the house could suit a variety of family needs. It is easy to see why Groves Avenue is considered one of the best addresses in Swansea. This exclusive tree lined avenue is home to a small selection of individually built homes that very rarely come onto the open market.

Druid Hill

2 | 4 | 1 | EPC: D

Number 36 Druid Hill is a beautiful home that occupies a prime location in the affluent suburb of Stoke Bishop, just minutes from the Downs and Bristol Zoo, and around 10 minutes into the city centre. The house was built in 1923 and purchased by the current owners a little over 25 years ago. Id describe this as quite a unique property and I think Id go so far as to say that theres probably nowhere quite like it in Stoke Bishop in terms of its outlook and situation. The house is quite spacious and sits on a generous-sized plot with a patio that wraps around two sides, plus a sizeable garden that is on two levels, with terraces going down to the lower lawn. The views over Stoke Bishop are stunning. Were just moments from the hustle and bustle, but its as if were in our own tranquil little environment here.

Situated on the glorious rural outskirts, just under 4 miles west of Bath is Kelston, a quintessentially English village that is awash with attractive period homes. One such property is Tower Cottage, a beautiful stone-built house that is thought to date back to around 1745. It began life as a small two-up-two-down estate cottage, but over the years it has been greatly and sympathetically extended and modernised and so is now a very spacious and hugely characterful family home with four bedrooms, three reception rooms, three bathrooms, off-street parking for five cars and a double garage.

Abbey House


Dating from 1565, Abbey House is believed to lie on the site of the original Thorney Abbey, which was described as one of the great Benedictine Monasteries of Mediaeval times. After the dissolution of the Abbey, the property was erected as a manor house using parts of the demolished monastery in its construction by the Second Earl of Bedford. Abbey House was then over the years, passed down through the reputable familys line. Mentioned with prominence within the local history books, the house then became synonymous with the vast drainage works of the area completed by the Fifth Earl. Living in political exile at the time, the Fifth Earl is responsible for much of the propertys development that can be seen today.
