| The Rousdon Estate is located 2 miles west of Lyme
Regis and half-a-mile from the sea. It enjoys its own private
beach, accessible only from within the estate via a steep walk
down through the fabulous undercliff and across the south coast
path which runs through estate land. It is set within 350 acres
of parkland with private walkways and overlooks Charton Bay on
the East Devon/West Dorset border. |
The Rousdon Estate was the original
dream of Sir Henry Peek, the MP for Wimbledon who’s
family had made their money in the tea trade during the 18th
and 19th centuries. Rousdon
was a classic model Victorian estate served by an extensive
network of private roads and buildings including the mansion,
stable courtyard, the church, the farmhouse, farm buildings,
cottages and lodges.The majority have been converted into private
homes during the past few years.
