"most attractive and very impressive. Spacious, full of character and offering excellent quality throughout"
`The Forge` was originally Rousdon Estate's blacksmith's forge.
This listed Victorian building has been completely refurbished in a Tuscan farmhouse style, offering very high-quality accommodation with a wealth of character. Features include huge beams and cathedral ceilings, terracotta flooring, real slate kitchen tops and a huge Tuscan style fireplace incorporating a large cast iron stove. This spacious property offers 2 double bedrooms, 1 on the ground floor via a short flight of steps, and the other on an open mezzanine floor above the lounge area. Both bedrooms offer en-suite shower & w.c. facilities. The lounge also has a double sofa bed adding flexibility to sleeping arrangements.
The large open-plan kitchen/lounge/dining area offers dinner seating for 8, as well as a second seating area in front of the large wood-burning stove.
Outside there is a gravelled patio area complete with outdoor log burner, garden furniture and BBQ. Ideal for the glass of wine before dinner!
The Forge is part of the beautiful and historic Rousdon Estate, set on the stunning Jurassic coast, part of the World Heritage coastline. The estate sits on the Devon/Dorset border just 5 minutes by car from Lyme Regis. Rousdons village store and off-licence, just opposite the entrance to the Estate, stocks a variety of groceries, daily newspapers etc and the nearby Dower House Hotel has a public bar and a la carte restaurant.The area is a haven for wildlife; the estate grounds cover 350 acres of pasture and woodland and also boasts a private beach accessed via a very steep cliff path.
