𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤 - 𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐲 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐭

It might be one of the shortest streets we've ever featured, but Newbury Street has a history stretching back more than 800 years.

An ancient route that has changed its name several times. Tudor buildings hiding behind later façades. A Georgian theatre once described as having “the noisiest gallery in the kingdom”. One of Britain's most famous actresses performing here. A grand house and gardens connected to the man responsible for rebuilding St Mary's. And archaeological discoveries that reveal what everyday life looked like here centuries before any of them.

Even the street beneath our feet tells a story, with evidence of people living here as far back as the 12th century.

Join me as we explore Newbury Street and uncover the people, buildings and stories hidden along this fascinating little part of Andover.

Have you or someone you know ever lived or worked on Newbury Street? I'd love to hear your memories in the comments below.

𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑺𝒐𝒐𝒏 - 𝑺𝒂𝒙𝒐𝒏 𝑯𝒆𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒔

Think you know coach houses? Think again.

This is two-bedroom freehold home on the popular Saxon Heights development — but it comes with a few things you might not expect.

1️⃣ Outside space – and yes, I mean proper outside space.

2️⃣ Beautifully kept – modern, extremely well presented and with two generous bedrooms, including an en-suite to the main.

3️⃣ Parking & storage – plenty of both, including covered parking beneath the property.

This is a coach house that challenges a few of the usual compromises associated with this style of home.

Here are my top three things you’ll love about 39 Calcio Street.

𝑺𝑷10 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒕𝒚 𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒕 𝑼𝒑𝒅𝒂𝒕𝒆

At the time of recording, there are 221 properties currently for sale across SP10.

Over the last two weeks we’ve seen 32 new properties come to market, 25 properties go sale agreed, 20 price changes and 4 sales fall through.

So, simply put, more homes are coming onto the market than buyers are taking off it.

With 221 properties currently available, buyers have choice. Homes are absolutely still selling, but buyers can afford to be selective, making price, presentation and marketing increasingly important.

This week I also took a closer look at SP10 2 and SP10 3, and the difference between the two shows why looking at SP10 as one market only tells part of the story.

Almost 44% of all new listings across SP10 in the last two weeks came from SP10 2 alone, with 14 new properties coming to market but only six going sale agreed.

Meanwhile, SP10 3 accounted for more than a third of all sales agreed across SP10, with nine properties finding buyers during the same period.

The message remains consistent: buyers are active, but they have choice and remain price sensitive.

Getting your price, presentation and strategy right from day one matters.

As always, if you’ve got any questions about what any of this means for you, get in touch.

𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐋𝐈𝐕𝐄 | 𝟕 𝐐𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐖𝐚𝐲

This is a home that makes family life that little bit easier.

The kids can walk to school, there’s open green space right outside the front door, and you’ve got a proper kitchen/dining room where everyone can come together at the end of the day.

When you do want some separation, there’s a cosy living room to retreat to, three genuine double bedrooms and an entire top floor given over to the principal suite... your own little escape from the rest of the house.

Add in the garden, garage, local shops, community centre and easy access to the A303, and you’ve got a home that works just as well Monday to Friday as it does at the weekend.

Now live and available to view.

Message me for more information or to arrange a viewing.

𝑺𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑾𝒆𝒆𝒌 – 𝑾𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒏 𝑨𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒖𝒆

Western Avenue might be a relatively small residential road, but the few hundred yards surrounding it have seen an extraordinary amount of Andover history.

This week we’re going back to a time when this was towards the western edge of town, exploring some of the impressive houses that once lined the area and discovering what became of them.

Some disappeared completely.

Some found very different uses.

And in a few cases, their names are still hiding in plain sight today.

Have a watch and let me know how many of these you recognise.

𝑳𝒂𝒖𝒏𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑺𝒐𝒐𝒏: 𝑷𝒊𝒄𝒌𝒆𝒕 𝑻𝒘𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒚

Three double bedrooms, a fantastic kitchen diner and a brilliant position overlooking open green space.

Here are my top three things you will love about this home:

1️⃣ Contemporary high-gloss kitchen with integrated appliances, plenty of dining space and a useful utility area.

2️⃣ An entire top floor dedicated to the principal suite, complete with dressing area, built-in storage and en-suite, plus two further double bedrooms.

3️⃣ A great position within an attractive crescent in Picket Twenty, close to the primary school, local amenities and with easy access to the A303.
Coming to the market soon.

𝑺𝑷11 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒕𝒚 𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒕 𝑼𝒑𝒅𝒂𝒕𝒆

At the time of recording, there are 311 properties currently for sale across SP11.

Over the last two weeks we’ve seen 32 new properties come to market, 32 properties go sale agreed, 20 price reductions and 11 sales fall through.
With 311 properties currently available, those 20 reductions are equivalent to around 6.4% of the entire market reducing its asking price in just a fortnight.

Looking at timescales, properties across SP11 are taking an average of 67 days to find a buyer, followed by a further 139 days from sale agreed through to completion.

This week I also took a closer look at SP11 6, the largest section of SP11 and home to areas including Augusta Park and Picket Twenty.

Around 40% of all new listings across SP11 in the last two weeks have come from SP11 6 alone.

Interestingly, properties here are taking slightly longer to find a buyer at 72 days, compared with 67 across SP11, but are completing quicker at 125 days compared with 139.

The message remains consistent: buyers are active, but they have choice and remain price sensitive.

Getting your price, presentation and strategy right from day one matters.

Well... this was a pretty nice email to wake up to yesterday...

I've somehow made the final of the 2026 Personal Estate Agency Awards in FOUR categories:

Community & Local Impact
Best Social Media
Best Personal Brand
Best Video Marketing

Apparently there were more than 350 nominations from across the UK, so to make the final in one category would have meant a lot. Four feels slightly ridiculous.

But the one I'm probably proudest of is Community & Local Impact.

When I started doing things like Street of the Week, the idea was never really to create "estate agency content", I just wanted to make something people in Andover might actually enjoy whilst celebrating our little town.

Over time it's become one of my favourite parts of what I do.

I'm incredibly proud to represent Andover on a national stage, and we'll find out what happens in October.

But for now, thank you to everyone who has worked with me past and present, watches the videos, comments, shares them, sends me old photographs, corrects my pronunciation and generally gets involved...

It genuinely wouldn't be the same without you.

Onward 👉
