The Hermitage Estate

Constructed at the turn of the 19th Century, this magnificent mansion house is set in approximately 70 acres of park and woodland and typifies the gracious living afforded to the landed gentry of the time. The estate has been sympathetically converted into a limited number of luxury houses and apartments whilst retaining the priceless character of an historic building. Occupants of the estate have the privileged use of the estate facilities, which include the splendid communal entrance hall, large Victorian conservatory, indoor heated swimming pool, gymnasium, sauna, tennis court and lake. The extensive grounds provide a beautiful setting with scenic woodland and riverside walks. Remote-controlled gates and a video entry system give access to the estate.
