Winkworth has a long association with Country Life magazine, from our very first advertisement in the September 30, 1911 Country Life issue.  And to celebrate Winkworth’s 175^th Anniversary, we have collaborated with Country Life magazine to produce the Country Life Winkworth 175^th Anniversary Review.

To read about the History of Winkworth; growth in London, the country and overseas; and view our property advertisements from the Country Life archives in the 1920s, 40s and 50s, as well as a selection of some of our best properties currently on the market, send your name and address to marketing@winkworth.co.uk for your free copy.

‘From small, if far from humble, beginnings in 1835, Winkworth has developed into a very modern estate agency for the 21^st century.  Starting out in London, where Winkworth began selling and renting some of the most prestigious properties in the country, the business developed a trustworthy reputation for matching wealthy clients with the right kind of house for them.

Growing branches first within London, Winkworth eventually followed many of our original clients out to the country and now, using a franchise model which keeps the most talented and experienced local agents in-house, the Winkworth brand is a familiar one to buyers and sellers from Dorset to Nottinghamshire. For those considering investing in a second home overseas, we offer access to talented agents on the ground who can confidently help with everything from local planning issues to meeting specific client needs on everything from golf courses to handymen.

Selling country houses is an art, which requires detailed local knowledge, and the benefit of Winkworth’s network is that if the agent you’re approaching can’t directly help you, they’ll know someone who can. Opening new offices all over the country to meet demand for good local agents throughout 2011, the business remains confident that in another 175 years, they’ll be able to offer vendors, and those searching for the perfect country house, an even more extensive network throughout the UK and abroad’.
