Stable Courtyard, Rousdon, DT7

7 Stable Courtyard is situated in Rousdon between the coastal resorts of Lyme Regis and Seaton, on this 350 acre estate. Purchased in the 1870s by Sir Henry Peak, the MP for Wimbledon, Rousdon became a classic model Victorian Estate with mansion house, stable courtyard, own church, farm buildings, cottages and lodges, all served by an extensive network of private roads. The Estate was sold by the Peek family in 1930 to Allhallows School and was acquired by Rousdon Estate Limited in 1999 when the school closed. The Mansion and Estate buildings have now been converted into residential properties. As a resident of the estate, you have access to the private beach at Charton Bay and a number of paths that run through the grounds. The nearby 'Undercliff' is a National Nature Reserve and a Site of Special Scientific Interest, whilst the whole Estate lies within the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. 7 Stable Courtyard is a converted Grade II Listed property which has been converted from a former coach house retaining many of the original features. Number 7 is particularly special as it has been converted from the old clock tower into a 3-storey house, with the clock tower and roof terrace offering unrivalled views across the estate and out over Lyme Bay. With the character of the original building combined with modern d�cor this property offers a truly unique charm. The cobbled courtyard is particularly attractive with central water fountain and clock tower to one side. The entrance door opens directly to the original spiral staircase leading past a WC up to an open plan kitchen, living, dining area. The kitchen has a range of base and wall units with integrated appliances including an integrated fridge, washing machine and dishwasher. Open stairs lead up to the main bedroom with a modern ensuite shower room. A window seat offers views out across the estate. The stairs then continue to the roof terrace, a truly impressive space with 360 panoramic views across the estate and out to sea, as well as over the Axe Valley with plenty of space to sit and entertain. Adding to what is already an impressive outdoor space is the access to the clock room itself at the very top of the tower. While not currently used this space offers an opportunity for further conversion subject to necessary planning permissions. Council Tax: We are advised that this property is in Council Tax Band C.
