We have a number of different projects to offer, depending on your experience and skillset. Indoor projects include re-decorating a few rooms, painting some shutters and sanding and varnishing of kitchen cupboards. For those wanting to learn or who already have the experience there are a few pieces of mahogany furniture waiting to be re-polished. Outside, depending on the time of year, there are a variety of projects including property maintenance, such as painting windows, gutter clearing, cleaning algae from rendered and painted walls, gardening, woodland clearing, log cutting and wood splitting with an hydraulic splitter. If you have carpentry skills we can offer a few projects making doors and draft proofing an existing old victorian door. In the spring we will be filling potholes in the drive. For those who have mechanical skills we always have the odd maintenance job to be done on the Kubota tractor and hydraulics.

Accommodation

Private Room & Private Bathroom
We have two spare rooms with double beds each with en-suite for volunteers to stay in. There is also a private annexe, with a private entrance where you will have your own private bathroom and kitchenette with a microwave but no hob. You are welcome to share the main kitchen and use the Morning Room as a private lounge if you want to relax and read or watch something on TV. It has a log burner that can be used in the winter. In the warmer months you can relax on the patio in a steamer chair or play table tennis on an outdoor moveable table. There is also a billiard room with full size table and a darts board and there are many games and books that you can borrow.
