Yonder Valley · Sales & valuations
We sell houses in a small patch of the valley and nowhere else. That means we can tell you which side of Marlowe Hill holds its light in winter, and what the terrace next door actually sold for.
Available now
Every property below is one we hold the keys to, so viewings are accompanied and questions get answered on the spot. Guide prices reflect the current valley market and are reviewed fortnightly.
New this week
Yonder Row
A reworked 1890s stone cottage with the original beams left exposed in the sitting room. South-facing rear garden, log burner, and a garden studio currently used as a workshop. The kitchen extension was finished two winters ago.
Viewings open
Marlowe Hill
A family house near the top of the hill, with a wide hallway and two reception rooms either side of it. The loft is boarded and lit but not converted, which leaves obvious room to grow. Walking distance to the village school gates.
Viewings open
Creekside Terraces
A newly completed build at the quiet end of the terraces, glazed along the garden elevation with deep eaves to keep the summer sun off. Air-source heating, underfloor downstairs, and a ten-year structural warranty from completion.
Under offer
Yonder Row
A ground-floor conversion with tall sash windows and direct access to a shared walled garden. Currently under offer, though we keep a short second-viewing list in case the chain changes — worth asking if this is the kind of thing you are after.
Area guides
Three patches, each with a different trade-off. If none of them fits what you are after, we would rather say so early than walk you round four houses you will not want.
Viewing windows
All viewings are accompanied and booked through the enquiry form. We hold these windows open each week so you are not waiting days for a slot.
For sellers
Six stages, in the order they actually happen. You will deal with the same person throughout, from the first valuation to the day the keys change hands.
A short call or a walk round the house. We talk about why you are moving and when, because that changes the pricing strategy more than anything else.
We bring recent comparable sales from your street, not a regional average, and agree a guide price with a reason attached to it.
Photographs are shot in the morning or late afternoon depending on which way the house faces. Floorplans are measured on site, then the listing goes live.
Every viewing is accompanied, and you get the honest feedback within a day — including the awkward comments, which are usually the useful ones.
We put each offer to you with the buyer's position alongside it: funding, chain length, flexibility on dates. Price is only part of the picture.
Once terms are agreed we chase solicitors, surveys and the chain weekly, and tell you what moved and what did not.
Questions worth asking
Not for a first viewing. We will ask about it before you offer, because sellers compare buyers on certainty as much as on price, and an agreement in principle usually takes a day or two to arrange.
From completed sales on the same street or an adjacent one within the last six months, adjusted for floor area, condition and outside space. We will show you the comparables we used and explain any adjustment we have made.
Often, yes, particularly for empty properties. Occupied houses depend on the owners' schedule, so give us two or three options and we will find one that works for everyone.
We put it to the seller in writing the same day, along with your funding position and timescale. If it is accepted, the property is marked under offer, you instruct a solicitor and a survey, and we start chasing the chain.
No. We only do residential sales in these three areas. If you are looking to let, we would rather point you toward a lettings specialist than take the instruction and do it half well.
Proof of identity and ownership, a valid energy performance certificate, and any guarantees or certificates for work done — damp, electrics, windows, extensions. Gathering these early prevents the usual delay between offer and exchange.
In the valley, around eight to twelve weeks from accepted offer to completion for a straightforward purchase. Longer chains, leasehold enquiries and probate sales can add several weeks, and we will say so at the outset rather than at the end.
