traditional charm with a stunning, state-of-the-art modern interior and is set within 10 acres of
mature grounds, with a further 30 acres of private fields and farmland. The family are very neat
and take pride in their home, while still enjoying a relaxed and comfortable family environment.

general estate duties. Responsibilities will include daily, weekly and seasonal light to deep

including food preparation and laying tables. Driving the parents to events and assisting with
school runs when the children are flexi-boarding will also form part of the role.
