An estate village is a village wholly within and part of a private estate. Usually several hundred years old, they are often well preserved by the family that owns the estate. They often have small commercial operations such as pubs, craft shops, and village stores, as well as rented residential housing. The individual properties are maintained and managed by the estate manager and rented individually to residential and commercial tenants.

Some examples of British estate villages are:

  • Abbey St Bathans
  • Beeley
  • Edensor
  • Elveden
  • Great Tew
  • Milton Abbas
  • Peper Harow
  • Pilsley
  • Ripley
  • Selworthy
  • Tissington
  • West Heslerton
  • Examples of New Zealand estate villages are:

  • Barrhill in the Canterbury region of New Zealand's South Island
