The second edition of LA Agency Prestige and I couldn’t be prouder to have been sharing it over the last few months.

A huge thank you to all of the brilliant local businesses and sponsors who have supported this edition and helped bring it to life. It has been such a pleasure sharing the magazine with clients, guests at our recent Neptune event, local golf clubs, Cotswold hotels and homes throughout Cheltenham and the Cotswolds.

Prestige was created to celebrate the wonderful people, businesses and places that make this area so special, while also showcasing some of the exceptional properties I have the pleasure of representing. Seeing it being read, enjoyed and shared feels incredibly rewarding.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed, supported and championed this second edition. 🤍 Next edition is launching in October….💥

If you’d like a complimentary copy, I’d be delighted to send you one. Simply email me, and I’ll pop one in the post.

Park Place | Cheltenham ~ An elegant raised ground floor apartment, distinguished by the original private front door.

Apparently, I’ve started dressing to match the properties I sell.

Navy, cream, soft blue… followed by an entirely neutral moment at the next one.

Completely unintentional, obviously. Although perhaps spending this much time thinking about interiors and presentation is beginning to show. 🤎

A comment stopped me in my tracks this week.

It simply said:

“Maddie, doing it all in such a professional and refreshing way, brilliant marketing in such an elegant way.”

It was such a kind thing to say, and it made me smile.

It also reminded me of a half marathon I ran back in 2014. The funny thing is, I wasn’t a runner. I’d only agreed to do it a few days beforehand to keep a friend company.

As we started, he said, “If I need to break away, I’ll see you at the finish.” Which was completely fair given my lack of training!! But all I remember thinking was ~ no chance, I’m sticking with you. I’m in this for the long haul my friend!

What got me through wasn’t fitness. It was determination… but it was also encouragement.

I still remember the crowds lining the route. They didn’t know me, but every clap and every cheer gave me a little more belief that I could keep going. It’s interesting how encouragement works.

Sometimes it comes from the people closest to you. Sometimes it comes from someone you know but weren’t expecting it from. And often, it comes from people you’ve never even met.

Either way, it has a way of arriving exactly when it’s needed.

So if you’ve ever taken a moment to send a kind message, leave a comment, recommend me, or simply cheer me on from the sidelines…

Thank you.

You probably don’t realise the difference it makes, but I promise you, it does. 🤍

A home that feels like home.

Some rentals simply offer somewhere to stay. Others offer somewhere to truly settle.

Tucked away within the exclusive gated development of Hurlingham Square, Fulham SW6, this immaculate end-of-terrace townhouse has been beautifully prepared for flexible short-term living. Whether you’re relocating, renovating your own home, or simply need an exceptional London base, every detail has been thoughtfully considered.

✨ Four generous bedrooms
✨ Three beautifully appointed bathrooms
✨ Light-filled reception rooms with a calm, neutral palette
✨ Contemporary kitchen with breakfast bar and integrated appliances
✨ South-facing private garden
✨ Secure gated parking
✨ Available fully furnished or unfurnished
✨ Family-friendly, with baby equipment available on request
✨ Available on flexible short lets from £6,000 per month (negotiable depending on length of stay).

What I particularly love about this property is that it doesn’t feel like a rental. It feels like a home, elegant, comfortable and ready for someone to arrive with nothing more than a suitcase.

If you’re looking for a luxury short let in one of Fulham’s most desirable locations, I’d be delighted to tell you more.

A little reintroduction, because there are so many new faces here.

I’m Maddie Lewington, the founder of LA Agency, an independent estate agency specialising in beautiful homes across Cheltenham and the Cotswolds.

After more than 20 years in the property industry, I started LA Agency because I wanted to do things differently. I didn’t just want to be part of the beginning, I wanted to be part of the whole journey ~ no endless handovers, no being passed from person to person. Just one trusted point of contact from our very first conversation to handing over the keys.

For me, selling a home isn’t just about square footage, floorplans or meeting targets. It’s about understanding the people who live there, presenting their home beautifully, telling its story, and creating marketing that helps buyers fall in love before they’ve even stepped through the front door.

Whether I’m styling a room before photography, filming a property tour, negotiating an offer, or reassuring a nervous seller, I genuinely love every part of what I do. I feel incredibly lucky that my work combines people, property, interiors and marketing, four things I’ve always been passionate about.

Away from work, you’ll usually find me cheering on my daughter Allegra at one of her many activities, renovating a corner of my home, playing padel, or hunting down beautiful interiors inspiration with a good cup of tea in hand.

Thank you for being here. Whether you’ve followed for property inspiration, interior styling, or because you’re thinking about making a move, I’m so pleased you’ve joined me.

I truly believe every home has a story worth telling, and I’d love to help tell yours.

I’d love to know where you’re following from, or simply say hello in the comments. 🤍

Some homes are admired for their architecture. Others for their gardens. The Coach House at Highnam Court is extraordinary because it possesses both in equal measure.

Never before offered to the open market, this remarkable Grade II listed residence presents a truly rare opportunity.

Arranged around an enchanting formal courtyard, the house is defined by its distinctive castellated architecture, iconic clock tower and breathtaking landscaped gardens. Sculpted topiary, ornamental lily ponds and beautifully established planting create a setting that feels more like a private country estate than a family home.

Inside, over 8,200 sq ft of elegant accommodation combines remarkable period character with warm, contemporary family living, while a self-contained three-bedroom wing offers exceptional flexibility for guests, extended family or multi-generational living.

Homes of this significance are rarely available. This is one of them.

I’ve always believed that homes are about so much more than bricks and mortar.

This week, that belief came to life with the very first LA Agency X Neptune breakfast event, hosted at the beautiful Neptune showroom in Cheltenham.

To everyone who joined us – clients past, present and future, friends, local businesses and those who have supported LA Agency from the very beginning; thank you. Seeing so many familiar faces together, sharing ideas, conversations and a genuine appreciation for beautiful homes, meant more than I can say.

It was also a pleasure to launch the latest edition of our magazine and to talk about how thoughtful presentation can transform the way a home is experienced before it even reaches the market.

One of the things I love most about what I do is bringing people together, and I’m excited to continue this series with more inspiring mornings, wonderful guest speakers and conversations centred around homes, design and lifestyle.

A heartfelt thank you to @neptunecheltenham for hosting us so beautifully, to @thecotswoldplatterco for the delicious treats and to everyone who made the morning such a memorable one.

Here’s to the first of many.

Maddie

Property decisions aren’t always as straightforward as they seem.

Most people focus on one thing, price….but in reality, it’s rarely just about that.

Timing matters.
Positioning matters.
And understanding who a property is right for matters even more.

The way a property is presented doesn’t just change how it looks, it changes who it attracts.

And that’s often where the real difference is made.

This is how I think about property, and how I guide my clients through those decisions.

If you’re navigating whether to sell, hold or rethink a property,
this is exactly what I share here. Welcome!

Are you currently deciding what to do with a property? I’d love to hear from you!
