Directors
Avril and Peter Large
We first opened our doors 30 years ago with lots of good wishes for our success. Move forward to today, after thousands of successful property transactions achieved and it is clear to see that we continue to thrive. We have stayed with our simple principal of aspiring to provide the best service in Estate Agency within our community.
We count ourselves lucky that we have built a strong talented team, handpicked individuals who are equally as passionate as us. We all work hard to stay at the top of our profession.
When time permits, we escape in ‘Flo’ our motorhome and like nothing better than hiking and biking in the beautiful countryside of the UK. After all, ‘all work and no play’ can be dull and charging ones batteries is key to maintaining a lifetime of enthusiasm.
