City & Country

City & Country is a family owned business, founded in 1962, which typically operates in the South and prime markets around key cities. Over the last 30 years the business has embraced change and evolved to become an award winning, market leading niche developer, specialising in the restoration and conversion of historic and listed buildings into unique homes of exceptional quality and character. In recognition of its vision, values and market resilience, City & Country is one of England's fastest growing private companies and The Stock Exchange's 1000 Companies to Inspire Britain. The company takes an entrepreneurial and design-led approach that is anchored by common sense, agility, an innate feel for markets and the creation of value. The team is adept at spotting opportunities and evaluating them, allowing them to act quickly and decisively. The company's success has been founded on an unwavering respect for and understanding of some of Britain's most important heritage assets. Working closely with Heritage Specialists, local authority planners, conservationists and its own team of experts, City & Country applies fresh and original thinking to space planning whilst preserving the original proportions, features and splendour of the prestigious buildings in which it works. City & Country is a Benefactor of The Prince's Regeneration Trust, as it shares the same passion, core values and belief in the importance of heritage buildings and the positive benefits that can be derived for local communities through their regeneration.
