Miss Larpent

In the novel The Sittaford Mystery, Miss Larpent owns and lives at Hazelmoor, a house in Exhampton. During the time of the events in the novel, she has let her house to Captain Trevelyan, while she herself spends the winter at a boarding house in Cheltenham. She usually shuts her house up before departing but would rent it out if she could, which apparently did not happen very often.
