Paradise Found: On the value of nature
A number of English farms that may not seem very desirable on paper have been going for above the odds recently; country buying agent Robin Gould explains why...
Robin uncovers property in some of England's most unspoilt countryside. He knows the South-West region as well as anyone, having lived in Dorset for most of his life. Before joining Prime Purchase in 2003 he spent 20 years selling some of Wiltshire, Dorset and Somerset's finest houses. Robin's reputation is such that he is often the first port of call for homeowners, who would prefer to sell privately.
