Welcome to the latest edition of The Collection Cotswolds & Midlands magazine, a property lifestyle magazine celebrating luxury living.

The Cotswolds and Midlands offer both excitement and tranquillity, balancing rich heritage, glorious scenery and architectural beauty with a vibrant cultural scene. Whether you are drawn to rural hideaways, quaint villages, historic spa towns or metropolitan city living, the area truly has something for everyone.

For both locals and visitors, the mix of history and innovation that can be found in the region’s diverse urban and rural landscapes is a powerful draw.

The Cotswolds with its rustic rural charm, rolling hills, vibrant market towns and picture-perfect villages, offers nearly 800 square miles of unspoilt countryside. The Cotswolds is An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and offers a wonderful backdrop to host world-renowned country pursuits. Cheltenham is known as the cultural capital, thanks to its vibrant blend of style and tradition.

Steeped in history, the ancient city of Oxford is packed with a lively cosmopolitan cultural scene. Its world class reputation in education and business continues to attract local, national and international buyers.

Beating at the heart of the Midlands lies Birmingham: a hotbed of culture that is rich and diverse, with forward-thinking architecture and majestic waterways, lined with history, culture and lifestyle and a thriving business, food and shopping scene.

That blend of old and new is also reflected in the architecture. If you are seeking contemporary living from characterful conversions to new family homes and stateof-the-art apartments, our new homes teams in Birmingham, Cheltenham and Oxford cover a huge area spanning five counties.

We are proud of our long presence here and the depth of knowledge that comes with it; we know the region like locals because we are locals. Our approach combines the market expertise, breadth and rigour you would expect from a large company, with personal insight, understanding and practical know-how.
