2025’s Best Sold Properties: Reflecting on an Exceptional Year of Sales

As 2025 draws to a close, Butler Sherborn is proud to reflect on what has been an incredibly successful year across the Cotswolds property market. Despite wider economic headwinds, demand for high-quality Cotswold homes has remained resilient, with buyers continuing to prioritise location, lifestyle and long-term value.
Over the past year, the firm has successfully completed the sale of a remarkable portfolio of properties, including The Grange, Sarsden House, Rynehill House, Laurel Cottage, Brook House, Clematis Cottage, The Grain House, The Crown House, Ash House, Alvis House, The Withies, 50 Eastleach, The Shelf, The Dower House, Twin Cottage, 1 Mount Pleasant, and Cerney Wick Farmhouse. Each sale reflects not only the enduring appeal of the Cotswolds, but also Butler Sherborn’s deep local knowledge and ability to match the right buyers with exceptional homes.




In addition to these completed transactions, a number of properties have recently gone Under Offer, with the expectation that many will exchange in the New Year. This strong pipeline provides encouraging momentum as the market looks ahead to 2026.
While the Autumn Budget understandably introduced a degree of inertia earlier in the season, November proved to be a standout month. Butler Sherborn delivered a notably strong performance, successfully selling quality Cotswold properties at a time when many markets across the country experienced hesitation. Buyer motivation has now stabilised, and activity levels are translating into tangible results.
Encouragingly, Butler Sherborn continues to average one offer for every three viewings, significantly outperforming the national average for viewings per offer. This highlights both the quality of the properties being brought to market and the strength of buyer demand within the region.
The Cotswolds remains one of the most sought-after locations in the country, attracting buyers drawn to its villages, countryside, architecture and lifestyle. As confidence continues to return and motivated buyers re-engage with the market, Butler Sherborn is thoroughly looking forward to what the year ahead has to offer.
With a strong foundation in place and continued demand for well-presented, well-located homes, the outlook for the Cotswolds and for Butler Sherborn, remains extremely positive.
