Expert Guidance Across the North of England

We believe that property is about more than just transactions; it’s about understanding the heritage of the land and the aspirations of the people who live there. Founded by Ed Hewetson in 2014 and bolstered by Ben Pridden’s expertise in 2020, we provide a seamless blend of modern thinking and traditional values.

Whether you are looking to sell a high-value country house in the Howardian Hills or require strategic management for a rural estate in Cumbria, our directors work directly with you. We don't pass you off to junior staff; you get the full benefit of our 50+ years of combined experience.

"Ben's bespoke approach and can-do attitude delivered a great outcome... he secured our family a wonderful off-market property and opportunity."
