As part of our estate management responsibilities, we let over 80 residential properties on a range of historic and modern tenancies.  We have lets from small cottages to large farmhouses all over the estate, all with tenures to suit the tenant. We offer fair rents and operate efficient and effective property maintenance services.  We are constantly looking to improve services and have embarked on a number of periodic surveys of our properties whereby work is prioritised and actioned.

Currently there are 51 Short Assured Tenancies, 13 houses leased within farm leases, five new Private Residential Tenancies, four Service Occupancies, four Regulated Tenancies, one Assured Tenancy and four houses occupied by family members.
