Attractive Former Stables Located On Beautiful Victorian Private Country Estate

Rousdon, Dorset

8

Nestled within the stunning Rousdon Estate, a Victorian private country estate spanning 350 acres of picturesque farmland, parkland, and woodland, this vacation home offers a serene retreat on the Dorset/Devon border. The property, which once served as part of the stable block of the main mansion, is situated in a charming courtyard terrace. It is an ideal locale for those seeking a peaceful getaway, with opportunities to stroll along tree-lined paths, access a private beach, and explore the South West Coastal footpath that meanders through the estate. The property is also pet-friendly, making it a welcoming choice for guests traveling with their four-legged companions.

Conveniently located just a five-minute drive from Lyme Regis, known for its historic Cobb and beautiful beaches, and a mere ten minutes from Axminster, home to the popular River Cottage Canteen, this house is perfectly positioned for exploring the Jurassic coast. Visitors can indulge in fossil hunting at Charmouth, visit the renowned Swannery at Abbotsbury, or enjoy the quaint charm of the Regency town of Sidmouth and the fishing village of Beer. This prime location offers a wealth of activities and attractions, making it a great base for adventure seekers.

The home itself is designed for comfort and convenience, featuring four well-appointed bedrooms, including one king, two doubles, and a children's bunk room. With two en-suite shower rooms, a family bathroom, and a downstairs cloakroom, the layout ensures that guests can quickly prepare for their daily excursions. The outdoor space includes a 50-foot garden, providing ample privacy and a terrace perfect for al fresco dining and barbecuing, ideal for enjoying the tranquil surroundings.

Set in a rural area near the beach, the vacation home is surrounded by natural beauty, with attractions such as the Dorset and East Devon Coast and Lower Bruckland Farm Nature Reserve nearby. Families can enjoy local attractions like the Lyme Regis Marine Aquarium, Seaton Jurassic, Pecorama, and The Donkey Sanctuary. For those looking for outdoor adventures, the area offers excellent opportunities for windsurfing, swimming, hiking, and mountain biking, ensuring that guests can fully immerse themselves in the stunning landscape and diverse activities available in this beautiful part of England.
