Beyond the Water's Edge

For more than a century, Jackson-Stops has been trusted with the sale of some of Britain’s most distinctive homes. Today, the firm combines outstanding local knowledge with national presence and international reach, while retaining a personal approach that is increasingly rare. Our offices are owned and run by experienced directors, ensuring senior involvement, sound advice and a hands-on service from beginning to end.

For this inaugural special edition of Beyond the Water’s Edge, we have brought together a carefully curated collection of some of our finest coastal and waterside properties from across the country, from elegant estuary houses and secluded riverside retreats to exceptional homes overlooking the sea.

This magazine is a celebration of the lifestyle, character and creativity inspired by Britain’s coastline, rivers and estuaries, and not only does it include some of our favourite homes, but you will also find some delicious recipes from celebrated chef Rick Stein, whose name is synonymous with the very best of coastal food, alongside a special feature on renowned West Country artist Becky Bettesworth, whose distinctive work so beautifully evokes the colour and nostalgia of seaside living.

We hope you enjoy this first edition, because we certainly loved putting it together for you.
