Holland House stands set back from the road on a wide, quiet stretch of road, behind a single mature lime that the construction phase was choreographed not to touch. The Victorian house that previously occupied the plot was, in the architect's words, "unrescuable"; what stands now is its full demolition and replacement, completed under a three-year consent with the borough council.
The villa is one volume, four storeys, executed in honed Bath stone of a single hue, with bronze window frames recessed 240mm into the reveal. The forecourt is a single slab of the same stone; the rear elevation opens fully to a seventy-foot lawn through a six-leaf sliding glass wall. The interior is the architect's own — lime-washed walls, a stone-treaded stair that runs the full height of the house, and an indoor pool at lower-ground under a vaulted board-formed concrete soffit.
Six bedrooms, a music room, a wine cellar, geothermal heating, and a small flat over the garage for staff.

questions & answers
The questions we are asked most often, answered honestly. If yours isn't here, write directly to the partners — we read every note.
do you represent both buyers and sellers?
Yes, we work with both sides of the transaction. Our approach is the same regardless — honest counsel, no pressure, and representation that puts your interests first.
what types of properties do you specialize in?
We focus on residential properties in the premium segment — single-family homes, townhouses, and curated multi-unit buildings. Each listing we take on is one we'd genuinely stand behind.
can I see a property before it officially hits the market?
Often, yes. A significant portion of our transactions happen off-market. If you're registered with us, you'll hear about relevant opportunities before they're publicly listed.
what makes Marby different from a large brokerage?
Scale works against intimacy. At Marby, every client works directly with a partner — not an associate, not an assistant. That continuity changes the quality of advice you receive.
do you work outside of your primary markets?
On a selective basis. If a client we know well needs representation in a market we don't cover directly, we'll either extend our involvement or connect them with someone we trust. We don't hand people off blindly.
