They have one Dog and the couple travel extensively between their homes, which are all fully staffed. They are looking to a top-notch couple (Estate Manager/Maintenance & Head Housekeeper) to take care of their beautifully renovated Estate.

The property is approximately 12,000 sq, including additional cottages and sits on approximately 12 acres of land. Also employed are two cleaners (one full time and one part time) and a gardening team.

  • Security and responsibility for alarm and CCTV

The ideal couple would be proactive, self-starters, flexible, presentable, hands on and helpful. 

Start: December / January, but flexible for the right Couple

Accommodation: either a 2-bedroom cottage or a very large 1-bedroom cottage on the estate. Pets will be considered.
