Job description
This exciting and unique role is located in the heart of the Cotswolds at a complex of 21 acres that is currently undergoing conversion and renovation works. The property comprises of a Grade II listed farmhouse (4BR), a farm cottage (4BR), a barn (2BR), entertainment building with dining room, gym and steam room, cinema room, kitchen and outdoor pool and garage with staff apartment (1BR STUDIO).
