The Hermitage Estate

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 beautifull setting with scenic woodland and riverside walks. Access to the estate is provided by remote controlled gates and a video entry system.
