Books, Daffodils & Glasses

Our Hockley office has a great reputation within the local area for supporting a number of community initiatives, they were awarded the community business of the year by the judges from Hockley Parish Council last time. Here are a few of our projects.

Lockdown Library - If you have finished a great book and rather than leave it at home gathering dust would like to donate it to our 'Lockdown Library' please do, the box which is attached to our office wall is visited many times a day and we see hundreds of books pass through our community every month. Paperbacks are particularly popular. We also have a stock of new reading glasses to hand out courtesy of one of our neighbours.


Marie Curie Daffodils - Local residents help us raise money for Marie Curie by creating these wonderful knitted and crochet daffodils, we ask for just a small donation to the charity in return for taking one home.


Hockley Reading Trail - We still have a couple of weeks left for the reading trail so please do pop in and collect an entry form, spend half an hour collecting all the letters from the Village shop windows and return with the completed puzzle to collect a free of charge reading book, as simple as that.

Living next to the woods, we expected to feel closer to nature, but we didn’t expect to make friends with it. We thought we would spend our mornings listening to the birds and admiring the trees. Instead, we find ourselves checking that Freda the fox, our uninvited but much-loved garden guest has returned safely from her nightly wandering!

Selling for the first time can feel overwhelming. Everyone has advice, most of it conflicting. Here are the key questions to ask every estate agent, plus the step-by-step process you’ll go through to launch your home the right way.

As communities across the country come together to honour those who gave their lives in service, our Director Colin MacLean has taken the lead in marking the start of the 2025 Poppy Appeal with a heartfelt act of remembrance at the Hadleigh War Memorial. Colin has unveiled a stunning wall of poppies, the first in a series of moving displays.
