UK / HelpStay
We know that there are many people affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, who may be looking for a career break, change in direction or an opportunity to take a step back. We are keen to share our experience and our amazing renovation project, to mentor and guide and provide a rare opportunity to re-think and re-balance for a couple of weeks or several months.
We are a professional male couple, and we live in a historically important, Grade A heritage-listed Georgian country house set within Scotland’s largest regional park in North Ayrshire. Though we are surrounded by stunning and diverse landscapes and wildlife, we are also easily accessible to Glasgow and Edinburgh. We are in the process of renovating the house and restoring the gardens as a private house and academic writing retreat.
Our plan to restore the house and grounds to blend its historic character and beauty with our interests in contemporary design, art, sustainable energy, and nature conservation. At the end of the process, we will have transformed a tired and dated ‘museum’ of a house into a vibrant, comfortable, sustainable and beautiful place to live, work and relax. We are looking to share the process with a small number of volunteers.
We have a long list of jobs that need doing, and we need to be particular about how things are done, at the same time we are open to suggestions for alternative ways of doing things. We can give clear instruction on how to do any job and a chance to input your own ideas. We will always try to match your existing skills, interests or areas that you are keen to develop to what needs doing.
Personality-wise we are both open and friendly, well-travelled and conversational. We have lived in several different countries and enjoy the cultural exchange. We enjoy engaging with others, sharing experiences and lively discussion. We are both hard-working in our professional roles but always find time to enjoy good food and conversation. We have a good book library, enjoy films and music across genres, and there is a small gym in the house.
