John D Wood & Co. has expanded its business with the opening of a new office in Winchester.

The Winchester office, which occupies a stone-built corner premises in the heart of the city at Westgate Chambers, will be managed by associate director, Kevin Allen, who has worked for John D Wood & Co. for more than 30 years at its Lymington sales office, alongside newly appointed Emily Reeve, who has 15 years’ experience in the prime and super-prime lettings market.

This strategic move creates a link between its well-established offices in Lymington and Oxford, and complemented by its Country House Department.

John D Wood & Co. now has 33 offices in London and the country, listing fine homes and country estates across Surrey, Kent, Hampshire, Sussex, Berkshire and Oxfordshire.

Polly Ogden Duffy, managing ddrector at John D Wood & Co., said: “We are delighted to have opened an office in Winchester, providing a fantastic link between our well-established offices in Lymington to the south and Oxford to the north.

“Many of our existing clients live in Winchester, and we are pleased to be able to join a new community and create partnerships within this vibrant City.”
