Our Story

An approach shaped by land and time.

Founded in 1923 by Arthur Hawthorne in a small office above the post office in Stow-on-the-Wold, this firm has spent a century building something that cannot be manufactured: genuine local knowledge, passed from one generation to the next.

Our work is quiet, thorough, and deeply rooted in the communities we serve. We believe the best estate agency is, at its heart, a conversation between people who understand what they are looking at. It’s about listening carefully, offering honest guidance, and recognising the true character of a home beyond the obvious.

We take pride in a considered approach, combining experience with attention to detail to ensure every property is presented and handled with care. From initial advice through to completion, our focus remains on building trust and delivering a service that feels both personal and dependable.

Rural Expertise

Rooted in the working countryside.

At Hawthorne & Vale, we understand that each property is different. From farmhouses and cottages to land and equestrian homes, our team brings deep local knowledge shaped by years of working within the countryside.

We appreciate the nuances that come with rural living — access, acreage, planning considerations and lifestyle — and know how to present these properties to the right buyers. Our insight ensures every home is marketed with care, accuracy and a genuine understanding of its surroundings.

With strong ties to the local community, we’re perfectly placed to guide both sellers and buyers through every step with confidence.
