Former Emmerdale actor Kelvin Fletcher, 42, earns an additional £78,000 annually by renting out Stag Cottage, a luxury three-bedroom property on his Cheshire farm. The fully renovated cottage, featuring a hot tub and grand piano, charges up to £1,500 per week and is nearly fully booked for 2026, with reservations already open for 2027. While farming is now his primary income, Fletcher and his wife Liz, who have four children and pets, began farming gradually after starting with a few sheep. The couple’s life on the 120-acre Peak District farm has been featured on ITV shows, and they continue to learn the trade, describing farming as a serious, evolving way of life.
