I have a wealth of experience in residential property sales combined with a BSc in Land Management from the Royal Agricultural University.

Outside of the office, I am a qualified professional shooting instructor and enjoy running, clay pigeon shooting, golf and walking my dog.
I have over 40 years experience in rural estate agency across the South East. As Partner, I lead the estate agency side of the firm in Pulborough and specialise in the sale of farms, estates, equestrian properties and land. Part of a farming family, I grew up on our farm in West Sussex. This is a most beautiful part of the world in which to live and work and I am lucky to have retained my strong links with the countryside. When time away from work allows, I greatly enjoy outdoor pursuits particularly village cricket and travelling, especially to go skiing.
I joined the Batcheller Monkhouse Pulborough office in 2023, bringing a variety of professional experiences from previous roles in the property sector including sales and surveying.

With an interest in local history and antiques, I can be found far too often at local auction houses. With two dogs to keep me active I enjoy spending time exploring off grid.
Having always lived in the local area, I have grown very fond of the rural setting that surrounds Pulborough. After graduating from Bath Spa University, I am keen to grow my career in property.

In my spare time I enjoy an early morning swim or walking through the local vineyards with my greyhounds.
