A select and lucky few get to call National Trust properties their home
Up and down the UK, the National Trust looks after hundreds of houses, vast areas of coastline, swathes of countryside and close to a million objects. It’s also home to 10,000 employees and 44,000 volunteers who are passionate about the charity’s conservation work.
Lyme Park is a gem in the Trust’s portfolio boasting acres of glorious parkland. Rather unusually, it remained in the sole ownership of a single family for six centuries, having been gifted to the Leghs in 1398, who then passed it on to the charity in 1946. Kat says she spent much of her maternity leave pushing a pram around the park, which is on the western edge of the Peak District and about six miles from Stockport, exploring parts she’d never been to.
But for all its beauty and space, there are a few trade-offs to living somewhere that’s open to the public much of the year. While there’s no traffic or commute involved in getting to work, leaving the site at busy times has to be carefully planned to avoid the enormous queue of customers entering and leaving the park.
