Full hands-on cleaning to a high standard
Laundry and ironing
Care of antique furniture, fine furnishings and delicate finishes
Keeping the house beautifully organised and presented
No cooking required

Chainsaw work and log splitting
General grounds and estate maintenance
Laying and maintaining fires
Other practical outdoor duties as required together with ad hoc driving for errands
The couple must be practical, proactive and hands-on, with a genuine appreciation for country living. Two drivers preferred due to rural location but only one essential.
Accommodation: A two-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage is provided within the grounds, with its own garden. All costs covered.
Hours:
Gardener/Groundsman: Monday–Friday, 9-5 or 8-4
Housekeeper: Monday–Friday, 9–4
