Real Estate

Briar Rose Estate, with its enchanting Victorian mansion and acres of wild rose gardens, was a hidden gem tucked away in the rolling hills of Crestwood. Once a vibrant and sought-after destination for garden tours and high tea, the estate had faded from public memory, its beauty and charm cloaked by the passage of time.

As the estate agent handling Briar Rose, I recognized that this was no ordinary property. It required a buyer with a love for its romantic history and the vision to restore its former splendor. Briar Rose wasn’t just a house; it was a forgotten treasure waiting to be rediscovered.

That’s when I encountered the Williams family. With a background in historical preservation and a passion for gardening, they were captivated by Briar Rose’s unique character. They envisioned restoring the mansion to its Victorian elegance and reviving the rose gardens to create a haven for nature lovers and history enthusiasts alike.

Walking through the estate, the Williams family was awed by the intricate woodwork of the mansion, the grandeur of the ballroom with its crystal chandeliers, and the untamed beauty of the overgrown gardens.

In facilitating the sale of Briar Rose Estate, I played a role in not just a property transaction but the revival of a piece of local history. The Williams family had not only found a new home but had breathed new life into a forgotten estate, ensuring that the legacy of Briar Rose would continue to enchant visitors for generations to come.

Orchardview Manor, set amidst sprawling apple orchards and with a breathtaking view of the valley below, was a property that epitomized rustic elegance. The manor, a stately home built in the early 1900s, had once been the centerpiece of the local community, known for its bountiful harvests and grandiose autumn festivals. Over the years, however, it had retreated into a quiet existence, its orchards untended and its walls echoing with the memories of yesteryears.

As the real estate agent for Orchardview Manor, my task was to find not just a buyer, but someone who could rekindle the estate’s former vibrancy. The manor needed a caretaker who would appreciate its rich history and bring new life to its aged yet majestic halls.

That’s when I met the Henderson family. Recently returned from abroad and seeking a connection to the countryside, they were immediately enchanted by the manor’s expansive grounds and the potential of the orchards. Their vision was to restore Orchardview Manor as a family home and revive the orchards to their former glory.
