Housekeeper (or couple) looking to settle in a rural location. We live in a beautiful part of Dartmoor, suits someone actively seeking a quiet life, who loves walking and nature. Must be a dog lover (& experienced - will often involve sole care of 3 lovely dogs).
Helping to care for & run our home which is a beautiful large 9 bedroom house, very creative & unusual. Stunning surroundings & walks. The home is currently in transition, post-divorce/children leaving home. At times very quiet, only dogs, or - 1 messy artist! Holidays/ weekends + 4 ‘children’ (18,20,22,24) + occasionally very full and bit of a madhouse with friends. Considering running retreats and/or holiday lets. Must really enjoy keeping house and beautifying our lovely home (which we built) ~ cleaning, tidying, organising, laundry, (wardrobe maintenance-ironing, moths, packing, sorting, etc.) Dog walking, some driving, shopping.
Hours would fluctuate, and could suit someone with other work or interests. Passion for cooking healthy food a bonus!
Not enough work for a couple, but there could be a few hours here and there & it would be perfect to have partner who is retired/has other work. Or couple could share the job and pursue other work separately/together. I am open to suggestions. It’s all about finding the right fit!
Small but lovely annexe accommodation. Stables and field available if you have a horse.
