A Home Steeped in History
Swale House has seen a parade of notable and influential residents, including the distinguished headmaster of Richmond School, James Tate. During its time as a boarding house, one of its young residents was none other than Charles Dodgson, better known to the world as the beloved author Lewis Carroll.

Over the years, Swale House changed hands several times until it became the property of Owen Pease, a member of the prominent Pease family of Darlington. The Pease family were well-known Quakers, with Joseph Pease, a pioneering figure who established the world’s first passenger railway, among their ancestors. In 1908, Owen Pease added the Ballroom to the rear of Swale House, where it played host to extravagant gatherings throughout the 1920s and 1930s. By the 1950s, the Ballroom had come under the ownership of the district council, serving as their meeting chamber for several years. After a period of disuse, The Ballroom was eventually transformed into the luxurious permanent residence that it is today.

Elegant Dining and Relaxation

A Main Suite Like No Other

Welcome to Love Property - where selling your home becomes a rewarding experience. Founded in 2009 by Laura Howey, Love Property began with a simple mission: to provide home sellers with a level of care and expertise that traditional estate agencies often overlook. After almost losing £50,000 on her own sale due to poor advice, Laura realised that selling a home should never be a compromise. It should be about achieving the best possible return on your biggest, tax-free asset.

At Love Property, we believe that selling your home is a journey that deserves respect, careful attention, and exceptional results. We're here for homeowners who want more than just an average experience - who want a team that understands the importance of maximising value and delivering top-tier service. With a track record of achieving remarkable sales, sometimes up to 33% or £90,000 above the original asking price, we ensure that your home's unique qualities shine.

Our founder, Laura, brings 15 years of financial expertise to our approach, which means we look at every aspect of the process to help you make the most of your investment. We've helped numerous sellers unlock hundreds of thousands in extra value, protecting them from the losses that can come with "just average" agency service.

Thinking of selling? Book a complimentary property advice meeting with us, and we'll discuss your home, the current market, and how small improvements can lead to big returns. Let's talk about how Love Property can make your home sale a success story.

With Love Property, you'll experience a new standard of estate agency. Discover how a truly committed team can make all the difference.
