Butler Sherborn: Cotswolds estate agency with rural and equestrian expertise

Butler Sherborn operates as an estate and letting agency focused on the Cotswolds, describing itself as the principal alternative to national agents in the area. The firm states it has been active in the region for over 30 years, combining what it calls deep-rooted local knowledge with modern thinking and traditional values. Its client base includes buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants, and it also provides rural property consultancy.

Residential sales and lettings

The agency handles the sale and letting of residential properties across the Cotswolds. Its website allows users to search for properties to buy or rent by location, and it publishes a register for buyers seeking alerts before listings appear on Rightmove and for off-market opportunities. The sales side covers country homes, Cotswold villages, character properties and country estates. A dedicated lettings team operates alongside the sales offices.

Rural and equestrian property services

Butler Sherborn offers rural property consultancy and a focused equestrian property service. The firm cites its practical involvement in the equestrian world as the basis for this specialism, which covers clients in the Cotswolds and beyond. The rural department is staffed by consultants with professional qualifications including MRICS and FAAV.

Offices and coverage

The firm has three regional offices across the Cotswolds — in Cirencester, Burford and Stow-on-the-Wold — plus an associated London office in St James's. The Cirencester office also serves as the registered address of Butler Sherborn LLP, a limited liability partnership regulated by RICS. The agency states it has completed over £1 billion in property sales.

Market appraisals and client services

Butler Sherborn offers confidential market appraisals, including virtual appraisals, to help property owners understand potential value. The firm emphasises personal service and says its staff provide high levels of experience and attention. It also maintains a mailing list for property updates, rural business insights, market commentary and events.

Team and professional credentials

The team includes senior partner Sam Butler FRICS and other chartered surveyors and agents. Staff members are listed with individual contact details across the Cirencester, Burford and Stow-on-the-Wold offices, covering residential agency, rural consultancy, lettings and marketing roles. The firm is regulated by RICS and is registered in England and Wales as a limited liability partnership.
