We bought it for exactly this lifestyle.
The Hermitage appealed to us because it offered something far more interesting than simply buying a country house. It gave us a wonderful home, beautiful surroundings and the opportunity to run a holiday cottage business around the place where we lived.
The farmhouse remains a proper private family home, while the cottages sit naturally around the estate and can be managed without the daily commute or the need to operate from multiple locations.
For a couple or family wanting to change direction, work together and create a more independent rural life, it is a rare combination. It can also work particularly well for a wider family, including elderly parents who want their own space while remaining close by.
A genuine family home
A substantial four-bedroom Grade II listed farmhouse with character, privacy, gardens and room to enjoy country life independently from guests.
Six cottages on one estate
Run a meaningful holiday accommodation business from home, with all six cottages conveniently grouped together rather than scattered across different locations.
Bring family with you
The separate cottages create unusual flexibility for adult children, elderly parents, visiting family or a combination of family living and holiday accommodation.
