Welcome to Winkworth’s Country magazine
S
howcasing the very best of our Country House department, with its outstanding track record for selling the finest rural residences in prime country locations. In this issue, we feature an impressive array of rural properties currently being marketed by Winkworth’s Country House agents – from picturesque cottages to grand mansions, historic and contemporary. Our writers examine hot topics for country house buyers and owners, with invaluable advice from our country experts who live in the areas they cover, and have an incredible wealth of local knowledge. Our feature, The School Run, looks at the best places to live and proximity to leading schools – one of the top reasons why many families choose to move house to find the best education for their children. Many of our most beautiful country houses are listed – and that means owners need to be aware of their obligations in the care and maintenance of a listed home. Our feature, Heritage at Home, highlights the responsibilities that come with owning an historic property. The inside story of any house has its own plot and narrative. In
our feature, Maximalism and Minimalism, our writer examines the new trends in country house interiors. We are seeing buyer interest in country houses continuing apace. The rural property sector is an integral part of the prime and super-prime markets in the UK, which have seen significant growth and activity in recent years, with more interest from high net-worth buyers, UK and international, looking for impressive homes which offer a premium lifestyle and privacy. We are proud of our extensive country house office network, which covers the most coveted areas and strategic locations nationwide, backed by our London and international offices. We hope you enjoy this edition of Country. If you have any questions about our local property market or would just like to find out how much your property is worth please do contact your local Winkworth office.
