Tom Stourton
Dorset, South Somerset and South Wiltshire
With over 25 years experience in residential property and the wider property world, Tom Stourton, who works alongside Tim Barker, brings a distinctive and well-rounded perspective to every property search.
Tom began his career in Central London, spending four years selling high-value residential properties in Kensington and Chelsea. After relocating to the West Country, he worked for the BBC in Dorset and a decade in the film industry, gaining valuable local knowledge. That role took him into some of the UK’s most exceptional country houses and estates, deepening his understanding of what makes a house truly special.
In 2011, Tom joined forces with long-time friend and former colleague Tim Barker. Together, they work in partnership across Dorset, South Somerset and South Wiltshire, offering a focused, personal and discreet property search service.
Now based in South Somerset with his wife and daughters, Tom understands first-hand the importance of finding a house that truly fits. Clients value his calm, thoughtful approach, his ability to listen and his commitment to helping families and individuals alike find somewhere they can really put down roots.

Testimonials
Here is what some of his most recent clients have said about Tom.
What I wanted from a buying agent was deep local knowledge and insight, thoughtful advice delivered with real candour and a passionate energy to achieve my goals: I got all of this in spades from Tim and Tom. When a very special property did become available that has now become our home, I really felt the energy and the drive to get the deal done; our interests were very clearly aligned.
Tom Stourton and Tim Barker did the most spectacular job for us. They talked our language; they were available 24 hours a day without complaint; they put up with wobbles and changes of mind; they were consistently patient and charming. I really cannot fault them. Anyone who needs a house in the West Country should use them. They are both expert at what they do but in many ways very different people. Perhaps that is their secret. They complement each other extraordinarily well.
We have been happily settled in the home that Tim and Tom found for us, for a year now. We were looking for our ‘Happy Ever After’ house, and after two years of unsuccessful trying, still hadn’t found the one. We were becoming increasingly frustrated, when Tim and Tom were recommended. We found them both professional, delightful and the process straight forward. Within no time, they succeeded where we had failed.
Their ability to source ahead of property coming to market, proved to be invaluable. There is no doubt that we wouldn’t be living where we are, without their help. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough.
I was very grateful to Tim Barker and Tom Stourton. House hunting can be extremely stressful, but mine was not and simplified by the great trouble that was taken by them both. Their main concern was that as many boxes as possible could be ticked... they were, and continue to be so, with much satisfaction in my new house and huge pleasure.
