About this property

A wonderful Grade II listed cottage in stunning countryside with private beach

Middlemist is a Grade II listed, spacious corner courtyard cottage, situated adjacent to the stately mansion in the heart of Rousdon, an exclusive 350 acre private estate set atop the Devon and Dorset Jurassic coastline. It has been beautifully and lovingly restored, providing ample accommodation for 8 (with the option of another two) people who wish for breathtaking surroundings; offering peaceful, relaxing comfort with touches of elegance. With flint stone walls, exposed wooden beams, antique chandeliers, the house is decorated traditionally and has all modern appliances and an amply stocked kitchen. It offers a truly wonderful setting from which to explore nature or simply relax by the fire, with some rooms offering distant sea views.

There are two bedrooms with king sized beds and ensuite bathrooms and two other double bedrooms with access to the main bathroom. One of the bedrooms has its own lounge area (with sofabed) with the sleeping area on the mezzanine level above.

Guests have access to the surrounding countryside and the half mile stretch of private beach perfectly fulfilling those with a sense of adventure as access to the beach is via a steep (but safe) cliff top path.

Rousdon is just a few miles from 'the pearl of Dorset' Lyme Regis renowned for its fossil hunters treasure trove and famous for its Cobb, setting for the opening scene of The French Lieutenants Woman and close to Axminster home of River Cottage.
