Since the last edition of Prestige magazine, we have grown our network of offices to nine, spanning Hampshire and Surrey. We opened a new property showroom in Park Gate, perfectly located to service the surrounding areas including Locks Heath, Warsash, Whiteley and Titchfield, to name a few.
Most recently, in November 2021, we opened our flagship property showroom at Stag Gates, The Avenue in Southampton. At 6,000sqft, this modern and welcoming office has raised the profile and visibility of the brand further and we have been trusted to lead the property market since its introduction into the historic maritime city.
Across our network of offices, we have continued to see a healthy demand for property and our extensive database of ready to go buyers simply don’t have the choice of homes they would expect. The message from Charters remains the same, there is still an appetite if you are looking to let or sell your home.
What is clear, choosing the right estate agent is key and with nearly 3,000 genuine customer reviews across Google and Feefo, we are best placed to help you with your home move.

The elegant New Range Rover defines modern luxury, providing more refinement, customer choice and scope for personalisation than ever before.
Rover is the original luxury SUV and has led by example for 50 years, combining serene comfort and composure with all-conquering capability. The New Range Rover is the most desirable yet, mixing breathtaking modernity and aesthetic grace with technological sophistication and seamless connectivity.
With a suite of efficient mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid5 powertrains – and a pure-electric Range Rover set to join the line-up in 2024 – plus a choice of four, five or seven-seat interiors available across Standard and Long Wheelbase body designs, the New Range Rover is at home in any environment.
Thierry Bolloré, Chief Executive Officer, Jaguar Land Rovaer, said: “The New Range Rover is a superb manifestation of our vision to create the world’s most desirable luxury vehicles, for the most discerning of customers. It writes the next chapter in the unique story of pioneering innovation that has been a Range Rover
hallmark for more than 50 years.”
Land Rover’s new flexible Modular Longitudinal Architecture, MLA-Flex, underpins every aspect of this luxury SUV, from its unmatched capability and agile handling to its peerless refinement. By combining state-ofthe-art engineering techniques with new levels of virtual development and Land Rover’s punishing development programme, the New Range Rover will deliver new levels of quality.
A pair of innovative Extended Range plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) powertrains5 provide CO2 emissions below 30g/km, with a pure-electric driving range of up to 100km (62 miles),1 delivering an expected real-world range of up to 80km (50 miles) – enough for typical Range Rover customers to complete
Thierry Bolloré, Chief Executive Officer, Jaguar Land Roverup to 75 per cent of trips using electric power only7.
The new luxury SUV is available in SE, HSE and Autobiography models. A First Edition will be available throughout the first year of production, based on the Autobiography and featuring a unique specification. It is exclusively available in a Sunset Gold Satin finish, among a choice of five exterior colours. Both Standard (SWB) or Long Wheelbase (LWB) body designs are available with five seats, while the New Range Rover LWB model is available with a third row for extended comfort for up to seven adults.

The New Range Rover makes every journey an occasion to be remembered, combining advanced technology with modern luxury to deliver peerless refinement for every occupant, including those in the new thirdrow seats. By eliminating unwanted noises, vibrations and distractions – and reducing the cognitive load on the driver and passengers –occupants will arrive at their destination feeling refreshed, even after the longest journeys.

“The New Range Rover is a superb manifestation of our vision to create the world’s most desirable luxury vehicles, for the most discerning of customers. It writes the next chapter in the unique story of pioneering innovation that has been a Range Rover hallmark for more than 50 years.”
The New Range Rover maintains its rich bloodline of pioneering innovation with a suite of technologies designed to effortlessly enhance convenience, efficiency, refinement and safety. Land Rover’s latest Electrical Vehicle Architecture (EVA 2.0) is the enabler-in-chief and includes Software-Over-The-Air (SOTA) updates for more than 70 electronic modules, meaning the New Range Rover will constantly evolve, improve and remain up to date as it matures.
The New Range Rover revolutionises the in-car experience with seamlessly integrated Amazon Alexa2. Using intuitive natural voice commands goes one step beyond touchscreen or button interfaces in helping reduce cognitive load, providing a sense of effortless modern luxury. In this way, Alexa capabilities allow customers to manage everything from favourite infotainment features and music track selection to navigation or phone contacts – all while keeping their hands on the wheel, and eyes on the road.
The fifth-generation luxury SUV takes Land Rover’s modernist design philosophy to the next level, with a contemporary interpretation of its trademark profile to create an incredible design statement. It continues to lead, bringing breathtaking modernity, aesthetic grace and sophistication to Land Rover’s latest flagship.
Prof Gerry McGovern OBE, Chief Creative Officer, Jaguar Land Rover, said: “The New Range Rover is a vehicle with a peerless character, from the impeccable restraint of its exterior to the flawless tranquil sanctuary of its cabin. Informed by creative intellect and a desire for perfection, it doesn’t follow fashion or trend, but by a modernist design philosophy, combined with over 50 years of evolution, it is quite simply the most desirable Range Rover ever created.”
The New Range Rover is defined by three lines that can trace their origins back through the generations; the falling roofline, strong waistline and rising sill line. These trademark features combine with a characteristically short front overhang and a distinctive new boat tail rear – complete with practical split tailgate – to create an elegant profile that conveys Range Rover’s peerless presence.
The unbroken waistline showcases Land Rover’s attention to detail as the rounded edge of the door meets the glass in a simple, clean finish thanks to a specially engineered hidden waist finisher. The design-enabling technology combines with flush glazing, hidden-until-lit lighting and precise detailing to create the impression that the vehicle has been milled from solid.
The sophisticated surfaces provide a clean and contemporary appearance – and contribute to a drag coefficient of 0.30, making this the most aerodynamically efficient luxury SUV in the world.
The luxurious interior is underpinned by modern, intuitive and relevant technologies, designed to work harmoniously with the finest materials and wellbeing innovations to create a calm sanctuary for all occupants – turning every trip into an experience to savour.
The exterior colour palette elevates New Range Rover’s elegant proportions and clean surfaces while the interior options are more sustainable, responsible and progressive than ever. Customers have a wider choice of materials and finishes, including innovative textiles and tactile Ultrafabrics™ with a continuation of Land Rover’s pioneering relationship with Kvadrat™ – Europe’s leading manufacturer of premium textiles. It is combined with Ultrafabrics™ to create a defining materiality option that is lighter and generates only a quarter of the CO2 of traditional leather.
Alexa voice AI is embedded within the New Range Rover, so users experience seamless interactivity and next-level convenience. Alexa capabilities also allow customers to check the news, weather and for any scheduled meetings using simple voice commands. The system can even turn on your lights at home and connect to other Alexa-enabled devices.
Alexa works in addition to Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Wireless Android Auto™ and can be initiated either by saying “Alexa” or pressing the Alexa button on the central touchscreen9. It does not need any phone or external device to operate – only details of a customer’s Amazon account and an internet connection – while wireless charging for Qi compatible smartphones keeps devices topped up.
The New Range Rover has been designed, developed and engineered in the UK and, during this process, Land Rover has filed no fewer than 125 patents covering everything from its pioneering chassis technologies to its PHEV battery. Land Rover’s engineers used motorsport-derived simulation technology to put the vehicle through its paces in the virtual world more comprehensively and intensively than ever, completing more than 140,000 hours of computational analysis prior to physical testing.
A fleet of prototypes then embarked on a punishing global test and development programme, taking in extreme temperatures ranging from the 45C heat of the desert to
the -30C cold of the Arctic. The New Range Rover will be produced exclusively at the Solihull Manufacturing Facility in the UK, using a state-of-the-art production line housed in the building used to produce early Series Land Rovers. The historic building is the spiritual home of Land Rover and its reimagining as a new, ultramodern centre for Range Rover production showcases the way the company protects its heritage.

The John Lewis & Partners Southampton Home Design team advise you to “Step away from what you think is ‘on trend’ and instead consider which colours you connect with emotionally.
Look through a colour chart and note which colours make you happy, relaxed or invigorated. If the shade is something sharp and acidic, you don’t have to paint it on all four walls. Consider it an accent, paired with colours that compliment”.
Unsure how to balance a colour scheme? Try a favourite interior design rule: 60% of the room in the main colour, 30% in a secondary colour and 10% in an accent colour. Be playful with a few surprises, you don’t have to go all out decorating, it’s easier to add a colour lift. Accessories such as new cushions and lampshades can have an enormous impact but think about throwing in a few surprises too!
Adding little splashes of colour to unexpected places feels fresh and exciting. Use tester pots to paint the wall between shelves or inside the window recess. A block of colour behind pieces of art can be bold and striking. Match accessories to your highlight colours, magnifying their power.
Sofas, curtains and carpets can be a great starting point for a scheme. It’s always easier to match a paint colour to soft furnishing and fabrics rather than the other round. Pick a multi coloured pattern and you don’t even have to worry about accents - all the work will be done for you, giving you a palette that’s ready to go.
Their Home Design appointments can help you find the right style for every space, whatever your budget. If you are looking to update one room and need a little advice and inspiration, book a 60 minute Style Advice appointment. With a Design Consultation appointment, the Home Design stylists will help you to create your dream home, working with you to create a custom scheme for two rooms or more, starting with an initial 30 minute appointment.

THE PIG opened in 2011 in the New Forest and became an instant hit. A more relaxed take on the country hotel, The Pig’s unique selling point was, and still is, its kitchen garden which remains at the heart of each hotel.
Founded by Robin Hutson OBE (who created Hotel du Vin and launched Lime Wood), his wife Judy Hutson (who is responsible for the interiors) and David Elton, THE PIG’s litter has grown to eight, with hotels across southern England. The hotels have won a fervently loyal following and a string of industry accolades. This summer comes the second book from THE PIG. Following the success of their first book, this new book focuses even more on the home-grown and the local, celebrating the talented artisans, growers, farmers, foragers and fishermen who make each PIG hotel - and its menu - unique.
Eight chapters - one per hotel - will take readers from coast to coast across southern England, featuring beautiful photography, anecdotes, tips, interviews and, of course, delicious, simple recipes that reflect each hotel’s region.
Commenting on the new book, Robin Hutson says: “A lot has happened in the three years since we published our first book. We have opened three more hotels and, of course, we’ve all had a global pandemic to contend with. Our PIGs now reside in every county across the south coast of England and this book celebrates the unique produce and flavours of each one, as well as the incredible artisans who have become a big part of our story. With this second book, we wanted to take readers photographically behind the scenes to see a little of the life and people ‘backstage’ at
The Pig: the unsung heroes of hospitality. It’s this crew, who aren’t always seen by guests, who keep the show on the road.” Over the next few pages we take a look at some recipes from the New Forest restaurant.

“Our PIGs now reside in every county across the south coast of England and this book celebrates the unique produce and fla vours of each one.”
Pannage is an extremely exciting time of year, not only because you get to see pigs roaming free in the forest but also because you know their incredible meat is soon to follow - so for a few precious weeks every autumn this dish is on our menu. The black garlic butter with oyster mushrooms grown in our mushroom house is one of our favourite pairings. We use black garlic from The Garlic Farm on the Isle of Wight, available in farm shops and online. We repurposed our old walk-in fridge for our mushroom house at The Pig, where we grow a range of fungi using recycled coffee grounds.
Heat the oven to 220ºC, 200ºC fan (425ºF), Gas Mark 7. Using a sharp knife, remove the sinew from the tenderloin – take care not to cut too deep and waste any of the meat. Season well with salt and pepper. Bring a frying pan up to a high heat. Add the oil and the tenderloin (you can cut the pork in half if that makes it more manageable); turn regularly until all the sides are golden brown. Add the butter, garlic and herbs and baste by spooning the oil over it. Cook in the oven for 4-5 minutes and rest for 3 minutes before serving. Your pork should be blushing.
Soften the salted butter. Place the black garlic into a mixing bowl and, using a fork or spoon, crush to a paste. Add the rest of the ingredients plus the butter and mix well. Spoon the butter onto a sheet of parchment paper. Make a sausage shape by rolling up the parchment then chill.
Place a frying pan on a high heat and add the vegetable oil. Add the mushrooms and cook until slightly softened and starting to turn golden. Add the broccoli and season with salt and pepper, then add 50g of the black garlic butter
(the rest can go into the fridge or freezer for later, maybe for a risotto or any number of dishes). Cook until the broccoli is softened but still has some bite. Once the pork has rested, slice it into thick rounds and put on a plate with the broccoli and mushrooms. Finish with the red wine sauce, gently heated through.
• 1 pannage pork tenderloin, weighing 400-500g
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 25g butter
• 3 garlic cloves, crushed
• 4 sprigs winter savoury
• 125g salted butter at room temperature
• 25g black garlic, peeled
• zest of ½ lemon
• ½ banana shallot, finely diced
• 10g parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 100g oyster mushrooms (halve them if they’re big)
• 100g purple-sprouting (or Tenderstem) broccoli (split it if it’s large)
• 200ml red wine sauce (you can get good quality sauces from the chilled aisle in the supermarket)

“ ‘If you want a relaxed break in great surroundings and enjoy great food, fresh from the kitchen garden, THE PIG is always my first port of call.’”
This is cheesecake but not as you know it. The honey adds a lovely sweetness to the base and the Potter soft cheese from Book & Bucket makes it extra special. We ran a competition for The Pig guests to name one of our favourite local maker’s new cheeses, and the winner by a mile was Potter, of Peter Rabbit fame. It’s beautifully creamy, which works well with that zesty dash of lemon. We grow a few different types of strawberry at The Pig, including the small but flavoursome white Alpine and wild varieties, which work well. You can adapt this to make one large cake if you prefer.
Break the biscuits into a food processor and blitz until fine. If you don’t have one, place in a freezer bag and crush with the base of a pot or rolling pin.
Gently heat the butter and honey until just melted. Pour the hot liquid onto the crushed biscuits and, with a spoon, work in the butter mix until all the crumbs are coated. Divide the biscuit crumb between the dessert rings and press down with the base of a teaspoon. Chill in the fridge.
In a food mixer with the beater attachment (or large bowl and spatula), combine the cheese and 50g of the sugar - take care not to overwork it!
In a small pan, place the diced strawberries with the juice of the lemon and the remaining 20g sugar; gently heat until the strawberries break down to a pulp. Leave to cool completely.
In another large bowl, whip the cream with the lemon zest until it forms soft peaks - again, don’t whip it too much or it’ll split.
Using a spatula, gently fold the cream into the cheese in three or four stages. Mix in the chilled strawberry pulp (this adds a bit of colour and sharpness to the rich mix).
Remove the bases from the fridge. You can either spoon the cream cheese mix onto the base or you might find it easier to use a piping bag. Now, with a stepped palette knife (or the back of a spoon or spatula), level the mixture (if you run the spatula under hot water then dry it, it’ll be easier to smooth).
Chill uncovered for at least 2 hours.
While it’s chilling, hull and cut the small strawberries into halves and the larger ones into quarters, place in a bowl and sprinkle with a good amount of icing sugar and the zest and juice of the lemon. Cover and leave at room temperature.
When you’re ready to serve, gently remove the cheesecakes from their moulds and decorate with the strawberries, then drizzle over the strawberry juices.
(You’ll need 8 stainless steel dessert rings measuring 7 x 4.5cm)
• 200g McVitie’s Hobnobs or digestives (best to use biscuits that aren’t overly sweet)
• 50g unsalted butter
• 20g runny honey
For the cheesecake
• 350g Book & Bucket’s Potter cheese (a soft cow’s milk cheese), or any full-fat cream cheese
• 70g caster sugar
• 80g ripe strawberries, diced
• zest and juice of 1 lemon
• 150ml double cream
For the top
• 1-2 punnets ripe strawberries
• icing sugar
• zest and juice of 1 lemon
