South Oxfordshire

Specialist in Selling Unique Homes in South Oxfordshire, from Wantage to Kidlington and Headington, Oxford to Abingdon.

Melanie Harries brings over 25 years of senior leadership experience across Asia, Europe and the United States to her role as Franchise Owner of Stowhill Estates South Oxfordshire.

She began her academic journey studying Architecture at the University of Cambridge, where she developed not only an appreciation for beautiful structures, but also a deep understanding of the human and cultural stories that shape them. That perspective continues to inform her work today — recognising that every home has both architectural significance and personal meaning.

Having grown up in Thailand to an Indonesian mother and English father, Melanie has a natural multicultural fluency and global outlook. Combined with her international corporate career — leading complex negotiations, advising senior stakeholders and delivering high-value outcomes across multiple markets — she brings strategic insight, discretion and professionalism to every client relationship.

Now specialising in unique and beautiful homes across South Oxfordshire, Melanie combines commercial rigour with a deeply personal service ethos. She understands that selling a home, particularly a distinctive or luxury residence, is both financially significant and emotionally important. Her clients value her calm guidance, meticulous attention to detail and ability to position properties thoughtfully to attract the right buyers.

Having lived in South Oxfordshire for over twenty years with her husband and two children, she has an in-depth knowledge of the area’s villages, market towns and highly regarded schools. This local insight, paired with her international experience and architectural foundation, enables her to represent homes with both intelligence and sensitivity.

Melanie is passionate about delivering a refined, considered and highly individual service that reflects the quality and character of the homes she represents.
