The Clock Tower is a truly remarkable one-bedroom residence set within the heart of the exclusive Rousdon Estate, a historic coastal estate nestled between Lyme Regis and Seaton.
A unique one-bedroom property, it offers a rare opportunity to experience the grandeur of Victorian architecture in a uniquely intimate setting.
As you arrive, the estate unfolds around you - 350 acres of private grounds, winding woodland paths, and access to the secluded beach at Charton Bay.
The estate’s rich history is evident in every detail, from the cobbled courtyards and the original mansion house to the peaceful church and sweeping views across the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The Clock Tower itself is a Grade II Listed building, thoughtfully converted from the original estate’s timepiece into a three-storey home full of character and charm.
You enter through a private doorway into the original stone spiral staircase, which winds its way up through the property.
On the first floor, the space opens into a beautifully designed open-plan living area, where exposed brickwork and industrial-style finishes blend seamlessly with warm, personal touches.
A cosy sitting area with a wall-mounted Smart TV invites you to relax, while the fully fitted kitchen, complete with dishwasher, washing machine, and dining space, makes entertaining effortless.
Climbing the stone stairs to the second floor, you’ll find the open-plan bedroom, where a king-size bed sits beneath vaulted ceilings.
The ensuite shower room is a showpiece in itself, with a walk-in rainfall shower and a striking stone basin.
From the bedroom window, you can gaze out across the estate and catch glimpses of the sea beyond, a view that changes with the light and never fails to impress.
But the true highlight lies above.
Ascend once more to reach the covered rooftop terrace, nestled beneath the clock tower itself.
Furnished with a table and chairs, this space offers unrivalled panoramic views stretching across Lyme Bay, the Axe Valley, and the rolling countryside beyond.
It’s a magical spot for morning coffee, sunset drinks, or simply soaking in the peace and beauty of the estate.
Just a short drive away is Lyme Regis, a vibrant seaside town known for its iconic Cobb harbour, fossil-rich beaches, and lively atmosphere.
Here, you’ll find a wonderful variety of places to eat from award-winning restaurants serving seasonal, locally sourced dishes to cosy cafés and traditional pubs offering hearty fare and fresh seafood.
The town is also a gateway to the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and perfectly placed for exploring the South West Coast Path, with its dramatic cliffs, hidden coves, and breathtaking sea views.
The Clock Tower is more than just a place to stay - it’s an unforgettable experience.
Whether you're seeking a romantic escape, a peaceful retreat, or a base to explore the Jurassic Coast, this extraordinary property offers something truly special.
