Country House ColleCtion 5WHY STruTT & PArkE r?‘Holcombe House, an elegant, early-17th-century Cotswold country house,has only been sold four times in its 350-year history. Its last owner bought itin 1960 and her son, Alastair Martin, oversaw the sale on behalf of his elderlymother, an American who lives in New York. It was a bittersweet decision.‘As much as we love the house, the time has come for a new generation totake over, and be as committed to it as we were,’ he says.Its new owners join a distinguished line of residents. Built by a clothier,the house was lived in by wealthy local mill owners in the 19th century.They in turn sold it to the noted Cotswold architect Detmar Blow, whoadded impressive extensions and alterations in the early 20th century.When Alastair’s parents – his father English, his mother from Savannah,Georgia – bought it, they were part of a post-war influx of young couples tothe Cotswolds, seduced by the beautiful countryside and keen to let off steam.‘There were plenty of parties!’ he recalls. ‘I remember it being full of people.For us children, there was always somewhere good to hide from the grown-ups.’The heart of the eight-bedroom house, though, was the wood-panelled diningroom. ‘It felt old, but alive – the sort of room you could relax in,’ says Alastair.‘The whole house, in fact, always felt very informal, not at all stuffy.’Holcombe House has changed little in the intervening 53 years. Alastair’smother visited increasingly rarely over recent years, but kept two full-time staffand a gardener to look after it while it wasn’t hosting family or visitors.Alastair shortlisted three agents for the sale, but there was really no contest.‘<strong>Strutt</strong> & <strong>Parker</strong> understood the house from the start, and had a feeling forwhat was exceptional about it,’ he says. ‘Our agent, Sam Trounson, really knewhis architectural history.’ He quickly spotted that, unusually for a Cotswoldhouse of this period, it has large proportions allowing an abundance of naturallight. ‘He also had a feel for how people live in these houses today. He was headand shoulders above the rest.’The property went on the market at the beginning of May and was soldwithin a week. It fetched an excellent price. ‘It was all we could have hoped for,’says Alastair. ‘Although it’s large, there is a modesty to the house that drawsyou in. It’s quietly distinguished and has risen above being just a lovely oldhouse. <strong>Strutt</strong> & <strong>Parker</strong> understood this about Holcombe.’<strong>Strutt</strong> & <strong>Parker</strong> understoodthe house from the start, andhad a feeling for what wasexceptional about it’6.8%92%9.65the Country HouseDepartment achievedon average 6.8% overthe guide price in 2013increase in instructionnumbers during thesummer of 2013compared with 2012when asked howlikely they would beto recommend us outof 10, our customersgave us an averagescore of 9.65


Country House ColleCtion 7THE RIg HT CHo ICEWhen Sir David and Lady Carina Frostfirst saw Michelmersh Court in Hampshirein 1987, they fell in love with it immediately.It was a foggy day, but as they stood therein the garden looking at the house throughthe haze, Sir David and his wife knew at oncethat they had found their future country home.Twenty-five years later, the house has seencricket matches between politicians, luncheswith world leaders and highly competitivegames of football between father and sons,and their guests.<strong>Strutt</strong> & <strong>Parker</strong> was privileged to workwith the Frosts, helping to organise the saleof Michelmersh Court in August 2012, viaits affiliation with Christie’s InternationalReal Estate. In a note to James Mackenzieand his colleague Edward Lucas, Sir Davidand Lady Carina said: ‘We want to take thisopportunity to thank you for all your hardwork and bright ideas.’By early June 2013, the property had equallyenthusiastic new owners who had responded tothe same magic felt by the Frosts 25 years earlier.‘ We want to take this opportunityto thank you for all your hardwork and bright ideas’

30east & south eastBuyers are becoming increasingly attracted by the diverse countryside, good commuterservices, established schools and access to the coast this region offers. In Sussex, theSouth Downs National Park has enticed buyers not only with pretty villages, but alsowith the knowledge that the surrounding countryside will not be developed. Steadydemand for good properties – especially for those between £500,000 and £1,500,000– has resulted in more competitive interest. This year has also heralded a resurgence ofbuyers moving from London. Many are seeing country houses within striking distanceof the capital as being exceptional value.
