Currently run as a boutique guest house, the property sits in a beautiful and private setting within mature grounds of just over 11 acres. The Hermitage is surrounded by open countryside and only a few miles to the coast. EPC rating: C

Having been a private home previously, the house has been run as a guest house in recent years with 10 individually styled double rooms, all en suite. Awarded 5 stars by the English Tourist Board, the property is licensed for the sale of alcohol and for wedding ceremonies and has a helipad. The current business serves breakfast and evening meals. In recent years the current owners have invested in the infrastructure of the building, installing a new heating system and boilers, electrical re-wiring and works to the roof.
To the front of the house are lawns which are dispersed with a variety of mature trees and shrubs. There is an ornamental fish pond, woodland and a paddock of about 1.7 acres. There is a walled garden within the woodland which is now overgrown.
