KNIGHT FRANK1I am delighted to introduce the latest edition of Country Houses, Farms & Estates, providing you with valuable insights and expert commentary on the country market. In a year defined by significant political shifts, both in the UK and across the pond, 2024 was marked by an air of caution. As the dust settles and outlooks become firmer, our team of specialists is on hand to guide you through what this means for your property portfolio. What is clear is that the countryside has an enduring appeal, as buyers continue to be drawn to a more tranquil pace of life and the opportunity to connect with nature. The wellbeing benefits increasingly extend to inside the home, too, with a trend towards both new builds and thoughtfully renovated period properties that incorporate the best of contemporary living amenities (see pg 8). When it comes to the latter, the grandeur of a traditional country estate holds a particularly special charm, as our magnificent cover photo Folkington Manor attests. Within these pages you will find this and many other exceptional properties that inspire. Whether the convenience of proximity to a town or city (pg 52) or an idyllic rural escape (pg 68) tops your list, our experts share their insights on what to consider. Composed of a 30-plus-strong team based out of London, our Country Department draws on the considerable knowledge and networks across Knight Frank to deliver the highest levels of service. Our tailored approach makes us uniquely positioned to guide you through your property journey.

COUNTRY HOUSES, FARMS & ESTATES KNIGHT FRANK5Country market reviewThe October 2024 Budget answered some questions while creating others. We know the additional rate of stamp duty for second homes has risen to 5% from 3%, capital gains tax for residential property remains unchanged and more punitive rules for agricultural and business property relief have been introduced.It is too early to say what the long-term impact of these measures will be on transaction volumes or prices, particularly as some are subject to consultation. Neither do we know to what extent the interest rate landscape will become more adverse under a government that plans to borrow more.Demand was already subdued in prime country markets during the first ten months of 2024, thanks to the election and Budget. The impact was more marked in higher-value markets, where buyers and sellers are more discretionary and less driven by Post-Budget clarity may mean buyers re-activate their plans, even as they digest the changes. If they do, they can take advantage of average prices in the country market that are down by an average of 7.4% from their last peak in Q2 2022.Our latest forecast is that prices in the country market will fall by 2% this year but we will revisit our numbers following last year’s budget announcement, which may increase downwards pressure on demand in higher-value markets.Prices and sales volumes are also likely to come under pressure for farms and estates following changes to agricultural relief rules for inheritance tax that will make it more expensive to pass farms between generations.needs such as schooling and employment.The number of offers made on properties outside London below £2 million was 8% lower in the year to October than the previous 12-month period. Demand in markets outside London has fallen as the pandemic-era escape to the country trend calms down, but above £5 million, the same decline was 19%. Meanwhile, the number of exchanges under £2 million rose by 1% over the same period whereas the decline above £5 million was just under a third.The dominance of needs-based buyers also means demand has been stronger in urban rather than rural locations. Average prices for townhouses declined 0.8% in the year to Q3 2024. Meanwhile, the average price of farmhouses fell 2.9%, in a reversal of the trend seen during the pandemic (see chart).“ It is too early to say what the long-term impact of these measures will be on transaction volumes or prices, particularly as some are subject to consultation.

COUNTRY HOUSES, FARMS & ESTATES KNIGHT FRANK9Future focusOur experts share the trends shaping the country property market and what – and where – to consider when making your next moveEnduring appeal The diversity of rural architecture tells the compelling story of the UK’s rich history, with each county revealing a different chapter. These historic homes continue to have a strong emotional pull, with buyers attracted to character that is unique to specific areas. Among those in highest demand are the beautiful Georgian and Queen Anne properties found in Hampshire that epitomise the ideal of the quintessential English country house. “The high concentration is because, historically, the county was on the key route connecting London and the South Coast those that have been thoughtfully modernised are much sought-after. “Oast houses ooze charm and character,” says Oli Streeter, Senior Negotiator in the Knight Frank Sevenoaks office. “They make wonderfully quirky homes, about as far from a square modern box as you can get, and clients fall for their beauty and link to Kent’s heritage.”While there are many draws to the Cotswolds, its traditional properties remain a significant part of its appeal. “The honey-tinted Cotswolds stone and the interesting architectural style provides a pleasing conformity that people love,” says James Walker, Head of the Knight Frank Cotswolds team. “The Cotswolds stone country house nearly always attracts a substantial premium compared with a similar new build, despite the higher maintenance costs they generally carry.”Top-tier schools a priority While the benefits of a countryside lifestyle are numerous, for parents there is often one thing on their mind when making a move: schools. When this is a top consideration, the specifics of where to live and timings become even more crucial. “Having that local knowledge is important. I need to understand the catchments and commute times,” says George Pratt, Associate in the Country Department. “We sell all over the world and people might have no idea where an area is, but they come here because of the schools. I know when the school year starts, and the new intake of parents comes, and you follow it quite systematically.” Proximity is particularly important when it comes to grammar schools. State-funded yet academically selective, these institutions are often the first choice for those seeking a top-tier and well-rounded education for their child; even if they have passed the challenging 11-plus entrance exam, considerations such as how close you live start to come into play. With the newly introduced VAT on private school fees, competition for both places and properties near to grammar schools is only set to become more fierce.Some of the best grammar schools are located outside London, with the Home Counties particularly well supplied. Kent tops the list with 32. Its desirable towns of Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells are well positioned for some of the best choices, including The Judd School, The Skinners’ School and Tunbridge Wells Girls’ Grammar School. Another area leading the way is Buckinghamshire, which has 13 grammar schools that work together to offer a consistent selection system. The Cotswolds with important cities such as Winchester,” explains Hattie Young, Associate in the Country Department. “In neighbouring Sussex, in Georgian times dominant estates owned huge areas of land but that was not the case in Hampshire, which meant more opportunities to build grand properties.”Head across to Kent and you’ll find charm in the form of the region’s oast houses. Dating back to around the 17th century, these buildings were designed for kilning (drying) hops as part of the brewing process. With their distinctive shape and packed with gorgeous period features,

COUNTRY HOUSES, FARMS & ESTATES KNIGHT FRANK11also presents high-quality educational opportunities, with renowned options including Marling School in Stroud and Pate’s Grammar School in Cheltenham. Breathing new life into older homesPeriod properties have undeniable charm but for a house to feel like a home it has to suit day-to-day living. Increasingly this means reconfiguration to create more versatile spaces suited to a modern lifestyle, while carefully considering the history and possibly listed status. Perhaps one of the biggest changes in how we enjoy our homes is in how we entertain, with the kitchen now at the heart of the action. As Oliver Rodbourne, Head of South East Team and Channel Islands, Country Department, explains, “Predominantly, old houses would have kitchens in the north-east corner before the days of refrigeration to keep food cool. Now everyone wants the kitchen in the south-west corner, so they have as much light as possible.Modernising a period property is not without its challenges. There are often structural limitations, alongside planning constraints, that can make striking a balance between the contemporary and retaining the character of a property complex. “It’s a combination of trying to use original materials and keeping it authentic,” says Rodbourne. “But at the same time the planners often require that you make it quite modern because they want you to show the different time periods.”There can also be strong environmental reasons to update properties, with Rodbourne noting a huge shift in attitude post-Covid towards people seeking out, or creating, more eco-friendly homes. “Now everyone examines the energy performance certificate. The most interesting things I have seen are listed properties that require a lot of work and the local planning officers allowing double “ Historic homes continue to have a strong emotional pull, with buyers attracted to character that is unique to speciﬁc areas.”glazing to be put in. It has to perfectly replicate the original glazing but they are allowing it to happen. We have never seen that before.” Meanwhile on larger estates and country properties, our Rural Consultancy team is able to advise on various other ways of implementing sustainable solutions, including water neutrality, restoring the natural environment and more. A fresh perspective on new buildsAmong the many advantages of moving to the countryside is the ample amount of space. Increasingly buyers are looking towards new build developments to allow them to curate their dream home, from top-of-the-range lifestyle amenities to state-of-the-art tech. As Stuart Cole, Partner in the Country Department covering North Surrey and East Berkshire, describes, the attraction is clear. “They get to live in a brand new house where no one else has used anything before, including the bathrooms and kitchens. Also, if they purchase prior to the house being finished they can often personalise it and make it theirs.”Chesham Place, an exceptional detached house set in five acres in the heart of Wentworth Estate, Surrey, is a case in point. Bought at the shell and core stage, the buyers were able to create a modern interior tailored to their exact specifications. The environmental benefits of a new build also play a part, not least in future-proofing the desirability of a property, while the many lifestyle perks prove a considerable draw. “Now most large new developments have lifts and air conditioning,” says Cole. “Other key trends include high ceilings, excellent spa and leisure facilities and simple-but-modern AV systems that allow control of music, lighting, heating and TVs that different family members can understand.”

Its appearance on Grand Designs further amplified its appeal, while coverage in Country & Town House and The Sunday Times highlighted its distinctive design, evoking comparisons to a Bond villain’s lair. This media buzz helped position the property as a one-of-a-kind offering in the Devon market.Drummers YardDrummers Yard, the former home of actor Sir Dirk Bogarde, attracted significant media attention due to its celebrity association and architectural significance. This Grade II listed Arts and Crafts masterpiece, now on the market for £10 million, was featured in Country Life, House & Garden and PrimeResi. Notable for its architectural pedigree, having been designed by renowned architect John Campbell, the property also garnered international attention from Robb Report.

COUNTRY HOUSES, FARMS & ESTATES KNIGHT FRANK15Beautiful scenery, spacious properties and a sense of tranquillity… the appeals of a move to the countryside are obvious. As Hattie Young, Associate in the Country Department, describes, “If you’re moving from London it’s that lifestyle of waking up in the morning and seeing rolling fields, watching the children playing outside, and you might even have horses or dogs.” Beyond the property itself, the outdoor way of living is a big pull for buyers. “Those really strong traditional areas like the Cotswolds and Hampshire will always have a high demand. I don’t think that will ever change, particularly in good villages where you can easily walk to a shop, the pub, and have access to a useful train line.”With excellent local offices, but also tapping into the wider expertise and network at Knight Frank, we are well positioned to match buyers with the country house of their dreams. Combined with a dedicated point of contact who understands your requirements inside out, we can deliver a personal, best-in-class service. “We always have the knowledge on the ground, then you have us at the nationwide level, and also the Super Prime offering,” explains Charlotte Hall, Associate in the Country Department. “We even sit alongside the international team, the Private Office and the Buying Solution. You’ll always be dealing with the same people but have access to so much more.”While there are many buyers seeking a more remote rural experience, areas such as Surrey and Hampshire remain popular, Country housesalong with parts of Kent where it is possible to be in the capital within half an hour. “Post-Covid we’ve seen more of a trend for wanting to be within an hour-and-a-half of London, whereas previously you could be looking further into Cornwall, Devon or Wiltshire,” says Young. “Being able to commute is really important, as well as having a good home office.”This desire for space is not just a response to the rise of home and hybrid working, where there is often the demand for multiple offices within a property. Buyers are drawn to the countryside for the health benefits, which include making the most of the scenic walks and cycling routes, but also increasingly seeking impressive home gym set-ups and wellbeing amenities. For families, the range of excellent grammar schools in the Home Counties remains a key attraction. According to Young, “A lot of people are coming to an area not necessarily because they know it but because they want to send their children to a particular school. Last year we had a couple who were really actively looking but didn’t push the button to go until they knew which school their child was going to get into.”Ultimately our high-quality service relies on our deep understanding of our clients. “It can be quite a complex market, with once-in-a-generation sales that don’t come to the market as often,” says Hall. “So much of our role is relationship building and really staying in contact with everyone.”Sudgrove House

COUNTRY HOUSES, FARMS & ESTATES KNIGHT FRANK17Generations of joyHale Farm House is more than just a home – this extraordinary property was at the centre of family life for the Hofmanns for more than three decadesAs the proverb goes, “Home is where the heart is,” and if one property perfectly represents this sentiment it is Hale Farm House. With large grounds fronting onto the River Arun, just a couple of miles from the picturesque village of Loxwood in West Sussex, this historic home dating back to the 13th century was at the centre of family life for Hansgeorg and Leonor Hofmann for more than three decades. “When you have an older building you have a responsibility to maintain and look after it. We felt like we were custodians for the period we were there and we had a very happy 31 years,” describes Mr Hofmann. The Hofmanns certainly poured love into the property, with thoughtful renovations that retained its period character. With additions in the 15th, 16th and 20th centuries, it has been transformed into a substantial and sociable six-bedroom house with abundant entertaining spaces. Features including unusually high ceilings, exposed wooden beams and welcoming inglenook fireplace add to its charm. Where it truly comes into its own though is its beautiful grounds, with extensive outbuildings, manicured gardens, tennis court, orchard, paddocks and more.“The children left home and then we had four grandchildren who used the swimming pool and came at weekends and during the holidays. It was a very nice home – we had all these people playing and we hosted hog roast parties and events because it lends itself so well,” shares Mrs Hofmann. “For years we had Strictly Come Dancing parties because everyone watched it and we thought when was the last time we danced?”Selling a home that holds so many special memories was not an easy decision. “It was tough to leave after so long. But, you know, after a certain age the house is just too big,” says Mr Hofmann. “When we decided to market with Knight Frank we were extremely lucky to have Oliver Rodbourne looking after us. He was absolutely fantastic and communicative and we had a happy ending.”

COUNTRY HOUSES, FARMS & ESTATES KNIGHT FRANK53An urban lifestyle provides an appealing blend of convenience and culture within easy reach of the countryside. Among the list of attractions are excellent commute times into London, along with ample space and good internet speed for home-working. Access to the best schooling in the country, in favoured locations, also plays a key role, with Knight Frank helping clients make the right move.As Nick Chivers, Head of Urban Markets, explains, “The prime town and city markets are dominated by buyers looking for new locations to educate their children. Often they will be considering schools in several different towns, such as Cheltenham, Bath and Oxford. We can help them with a seamless service across all those markets with one point of contact.”Close links between local offices and the Country Department are crucial in achieving the best outcomes, harnessing local knowledge and taking the time to get to know our clients’ needs. “Traditionally we’re selling to families, so it is understanding those day-to-day networks beyond where to get a nice cup of coffee,” says George Pratt, Associate in the Country Department. “How is that fitting with your lifestyle or work? We can only do that if we are completely immersed in it.”Sought-after locations include Guildford, a university town with fantastic schooling and a diverse range of property styles, alongside Oxford, Cambridge and Bristol. “Bath is also very popular because again it has a great blend of quality houses, both traditional and new, but also Town and citya more villagey feel than a typical town or city,” advises Edward Welton, Partner in the Country Department. These best-in-class properties range from Georgian townhouses and detached Victorian villas to more modern examples that appeal to the growing demand for eco-friendly houses. And with rising development costs, more people are on the hunt for the ideal turnkey property that is ready to call home. Beyond the personal connection, Knight Frank makes use of its extensive network and knowledge base to deliver the best results – whatever the requirements. “The use of our world-class leading research teams allows us to inform our clients on the, often very specific, local market data. This provides them with an opportunity to extract the most value from their home and time their move with confidence,” says Chivers. “Our link with buyers leaving the capital is highly important to our urban markets, where we are in regular contact to help our London clients relocate into our regional urban markets.”It is an interlinked approach that extends down to every element of the selling and buying process and beyond, making finding the perfect combination of property and location an effortless process.Lambridge Wood Road

COUNTRY HOUSES, FARMS & ESTATES KNIGHT FRANK55The personal touchEastwood House oﬀers the ultimate in luxury living, from its impressive bespoke design to its location in one of Surrey’s most coveted private estatesIt is a special occasion when a property becomes available in St George’s Hill, one of the most desirable private gated estates in the UK. What makes Eastwood House, which was sold during the development stage, even more exceptional was its potential for buyers to tailor everything to their needs, ensuring an impeccable and personal finish. “Knight Frank introduced the buyer early in the process of the build which worked extraordinarily well for us both,” explains Philip Azzopardi, the developer. “When you are developing a home such as this, you have to make choices and it is always difficult because you are not entirely sure what the buyer’s style will be. This buyer, who came in at shell and core stage, has been able to choose the bathrooms and kitchens, finishes such as marble, and, in particular, the lighting, which was very important for them.”The result is a modern masterpiece befitting of its sought-after location, renowned for its famous residents, discreet lifestyle and second-to-none amenities, including a golf course, tennis club and health and leisure facilities. The house itself benefits from the privacy of its surrounding gardens and is finished to the highest specifications, incorporating a swimming pool and spa, gym, cinema, wine room and large underground garage with turntable.A sale such as this requires an approach as bespoke as the property itself, with the provision of a personal service at the forefront. “Knight Frank and, most importantly, Stuart Cole have always listened carefully to what I require and also take a very long-term view in terms of their advice. They understand my business and its aims and react accordingly,” Azzopardi adds. “Having dealt with Stuart for over a decade now, I know he has my best interests at heart and will go the extra mile, along with his colleagues, to make sure I am looked after.”For more information, please contact Stuart Cole, Partner in the CountryDepartment covering NorthSurrey and East Berkshire: stuart.cole@knightfrank.com

COUNTRY HOUSES, FARMS & ESTATES KNIGHT FRANK69The strength of the Knight Frank Farms and Estates team lies in our knowledge base, with a dedicated group of specialists that focuses on properties of more than 150 acres. It is an area that can be complex to navigate and therefore the benefits of seeking out expert advice from the start can be numerous. As Will Oakes, Senior Negotiator in the Country Department, explains, “In the farm and estates sector there are many moving parts and elements which require enhanced due diligence for these properties to go to market. To achieve the right results in this intricate landscape, it is imperative that diligent work is undertaken from the very beginning of the process.”To do so we harness the vast expertise across the business, working closely with local offices as well as services such as our Private Office, which specialises in advising high-net-worth clients. “This collaborative environment allows us to offer honest and transparent advice,” says Oakes. “Our recommendations are not just based on individual expertise; they are informed by a broader spectrum of knowledge and insights gathered from the wider Knight Frank team. This collective expertise enables us to understand market trends, local nuances and potential opportunities more comprehensively.” The attractions to buyers are as diverse as the properties on the market. At one end of the spectrum there is a high demand for those Farms and estatesseeking out tangible assets that can yield returns over time. “Bare land without complex property elements continues to trade well, often appealing to those looking for straightforward investment opportunities or agricultural use,” says Oakes. Elsewhere, the pull of elegant and historically notable properties remains strong, sought after for their architectural beauty and substantial grounds. “Trophy country estates, with their distinctive character and charm, still hold a significant place in the market for lifestyle buyers who seek not only a property, but an entire way of life that includes the beauty of expansive landscapes, luxurious amenities and the allure of rural living.”When looking at what, and where, to buy, there is also the consideration of the unique microclimates and variances between regions, which can influence factors including agricultural productivity and property styles. Overall the market is strong with an optimistic outlook. As Oakes shares, “Over the last century and beyond, we have witnessed land prices rise dramatically, reflecting a growing demand for real estate and the inherent value of land as a finite resource. Given these ongoing dynamics, there is every reason to believe that this upward trajectory in land prices will continue and the long-term appreciation of land value suggests that investing in land could be a sound strategy for the future.”Bowland Estate

COUNTRY HOUSES, FARMS & ESTATES KNIGHT FRANK71Natural beautyThis striking piece of land in the UK’s largest National Park brings with it a unique opportunity to preserve and enhance nature for generations to comeHidden in the majestic, mountainous landscape of the Cairngorms National Park in north east Scotland you’ll find Far Ralia, a vast estate spanning more than 3,600 acres. Delve into the details and its truly remarkable nature is unveiled.The land has been given over to nature recovery, with an extensive reforestation and decarbonisation project that will establish a new native woodland and enhance the habitat for many endangered species of the area. “Far Ralia is the first fully-funded, high-integrity carbon sequestration opportunity to come to the market at this scale in the UK,” shares Claire Whitfield, Partner in the Rural Consultancy team. “It also delivers significant biodiversity enhancement and these two attributes make it a truly unique opportunity in this market.”The restorative planting scheme, which is now complete, has seen the planting of close to 1,500,000 trees across more than 2,100 acres, with further restoration of peatlands to come. Based on this, the National History Museum has predicted that Far Ralia’s Biodiversity Intactness Index (an indicator for biodiversity targets) will rise from just below 52% to recover to 94% in the long term. This exceeds the planetary boundary threshold (90%), indicating the area has enough biodiversity to be a resilient and functioning ecosystem – an incredibly positive result. Such rare natural capital purchases attract a diverse set of buyers, from individuals looking to inset the carbon into their own businesses to funds and investors looking to invest in carbon. “The opportunities Far Ralia is for sale with a guide price of £12 million. Please contact Will Matthews, Partner and Head of the Farms and Estates team in the Country Department: will.matthews@knightfrank.comthat the estate delivers around nature restoration at scale, enhancing biodiversity to a near perfect level of 94% as well as tackling carbon sequestration, makes this asset particularly appealing to those who are looking to meet their ESG [Environmental, Social and Governance] ambitions and net zero targets,” says Whitfield.Knight Frank has harnessed the expertise of departments across its business including Estate Management, Farms and Estates, Energy, Sustainability and Natural Resources, Commercial and the ESG Consultancy team for what is an unusual and complex sale. “Buying Far Ralia originally allowed the fund to secure its offset needs at a fixed cost of carbon, while directly generating co-benefits to biodiversity, ecosystem services and local communities,” explains the seller abrdn, a global investment company. “Ultimately, the woodland will be allowed to become a self-willed natural landscape, rich in habitats and with a high biodiversity value.”
