Fine houses, sold quietly.
Alderleigh represents a small number of exceptional homes across Oxfordshire and the Cotswolds. Most are sold before they are ever advertised.
IThe Practice
Some houses deserve better than a listing between a maisonette and a car park.
Founded in 1994, Alderleigh began with a simple observation: the best houses in Oxfordshire rarely reach the open market, and the families selling them prefer it that way.
We keep a private register of serious buyers, we appraise without ceremony, and we negotiate in person. Two partners, one office, and a reputation that has outlasted every portal.

Seven bedrooms, sixteen acres, a mile of river. The owners asked us not to photograph it, so we did not. Serious buyers may enquire in person.

IIIHow We Sell
The Approach
I
The quiet appraisal
A partner walks the house alone with you. No clipboard, no photography, no obligation. You receive a written valuation within the week, with the reasoning shown.
II
Dressing the house
Photography is commissioned once, properly: dusk light, considered rooms, no wide-angle tricks. A house presented honestly sells to the right buyer, not the loudest one.
III
The private register
Before anything is published, your house is shown to our register of proven buyers. Most sales conclude here, quietly, at or above guide.
IV
Completion, handled
The same partner negotiates, instructs, and chases every party through to keys. You are told what is happening before you think to ask.
They sold the manor in nineteen days to a buyer we never knew existed, and the village never saw a board go up.
IVAppointments
Begin with a conversation.
Tell us a little about your house, or the house you are looking for. A partner replies personally, usually the same day.
