Our client is looking for an enthusiastic, energetic, and hands-on House Manager to manage their recently purchased property and grounds.

The property is located near Haslemere, Surrey, and sits on grounds of about 28 acres. There is a substantial main house, guest lodge, and ancillary staff accommodation totalling some 28,000 sq ft.

The property is modern, but built in the traditional Georgian style to a high specification, including quality fittings and hard and soft finishes throughout. Some modifications, refurbishment, and upgrading is planned and will be undertaken over the following 6 months.
