Play host while maintaining the privacy of your guests. A flexible, multi-purpose space that could comfortably sleep six for short stays, the uses of the estate coach house are limited only by your imagination and changing needs. Employ it as studio space for your artistic pursuits, welcome visiting family, or offer the cottage to your live-in caretaker, nanny or au pair. The ground-floor bathroom with walk-in shower also makes it suitable for short-term or long-term guests. Host your parents or your grandparents, including persons seeking one-level living.

Your chosen residents, whoever they are, will enjoy the sylvan seclusion of the wooded compound the coach house shares with the main residence, while you maintain your preferred level of autonomy and privacy.
