Rupert Stephenson is Regional Director for Devon, Dorset and Somerset at Black Brick and has more than 35 years’ experience in the prime residential property market.
Rupert began his property career in Central London in 1989, before moving into the prime Surrey market, where he specialised in areas including St George’s Hill, Esher and Cobham. He subsequently spent 20 years as Managing Director of his own successful independent land and estate agency in Surrey and Sussex, which he sold in 2016.
Having relocated with his family to a farm in Devon in 2010, Rupert combines extensive professional property experience with an exceptional first-hand knowledge of the West Country. He advises clients searching across Devon, Dorset and Somerset, with particular expertise in prime country houses, coastal property, farms and estates.
His long-standing relationships with estate agents, landowners and other property professionals throughout the region give his clients access to both the open market and, importantly, properties that are available privately or off-market.
Rupert’s approach is personal, straightforward and highly practical. Having bought, renovated and developed numerous properties himself, including listed buildings and his own farm in Devon, he understands both the opportunities and potential pitfalls involved in acquiring country property.
Beyond Black Brick
Rupert spreads his time between his family in Devon and Bath. Away from property, he enjoys boating in Salcombe, skiing, classic cars, shooting, walking his dogs and exploring the West Country’s many excellent pubs.
