COUNTDOWN TO NATIONAL ESTATE AGENCY CONFERENCE BEGINS!

We’ll soon be travelling to London to attend a national estate agency Conference. Hosted by Relocation Agent Network, an estate agency organisation across England Scotland and Wales, the annual event is a great opportunity for Network members, like Coast & Country, to meet up.

Taking place on Friday 16 November at London’s Park Plaza Riverbank Hotel, the Conference will include a trade exhibition and business expert speakers such as co-founder of Innocent and star of BBC 3 show, Be Your Own Boss, Richard Reed; Chief Economist for Lloyds Banking Group, Patrick Foley; and expert on the psychology of persuasion and influence, Philip Hesketh.

This year’s Conference will officially launch Relocation Agent Network. We used to be called Home Sale Network, but decided to change our name to reflect the scope of services that each member offers their customers. No longer just an organisation selling homes, network members, like us, are Relocation Agent specialists in each of our local areas.

The event always culminates in a glittering black tie evening Awards Dinner, where the guys and girls from Coast & Country don their finery to celebrate the year’s successes and may even throw a few John Travolta moves afterwards. This year’s ceremony is even more exciting because Rory Bremner, the BAFTA-winning comedian and impressionist, will be the evening’s host and after dinner speaker.

We always leave Relocation Agent Network’s Annual Conference with fresh and exciting business ideas that benefit our customers and we’re sure that the 2012 event will be no exception!

Happy Halloween!

A Charming Country Cottage

Nestled in the heart of the village of East Ogwell  is this wonderful semi-detached cottage which is brimming with many character features. The Grade II listed property has been sympathetically refurbished over recent years to offer the discerning buyer a comfortably proportioned characterful home which embraces a rural style yet seamlessly incorporates the comforts of modern day living.

The rustic entrance of the centrally heated cottage welcomes you into a warm and inviting sitting room with large recessed stone fireplace enclosing a multi fuel stove.  The windows to the double aspect room have been crafted from individually made timber frame double glazed windows with window seats whilst the beamed ceiling and brace and latch doors nod to the age of the property. The kitchen / dining area is fitted in a farmhouse style with bespoke solid pine fronted units, Stanley™ range cooker, Belfast sink and solid stone floor and this theme is continued into the utility porch  located  just off the kitchen.  A stairway  with strip timber rail and spindles leads off the dining area up to the first floor accommodation where brace and  latch doors open to the master bedroom with beamed ceiling and modern en suite shower room fitted in a period style with quadrant shower. There is also a second bedroom which overlooks the rear garden and an additional shower room fitted with a matching suite.

 A hidden gem to the property is its generously sized cottage style enclosed rear garden. Presented in three main areas with a mixture of natural stone walls, timber fencing and natural boundaries the garden boasts a large two tier flagstone patio  which immediately adjoins the side and rear of the cottage to provide a sheltered and secluded alfresco dining area.  A stone wall stepped pathway leads up to a higher paved patio area  and charming lawned garden with mature shrub planting and a tiered vegetable garden with raised planters.

If your curiosity has been roused by this embracing village cottage and you would like to know more Michael Griffiths, partner at independent estate agents Coast & Country, urges you to contact him for further details and to arrange an appointment, not just to view but to ‘try it on for size’. Offered for sale at an asking price of £299,950.
