Tucked away on the westerly slopes of what was once the historic Furley Estate lies a beautifully restored one-bedroom cottage, the perfect countryside retreat.
This well-presented open-plan space blends rustic charm with modern comfort. Original features add character, while the electric wood burner brings a warm, homely touch to the living area. The kitchen is stylishly equipped for all your culinary needs, and the king size bed promises restful nights after days spent exploring. A shower in the en-suite bathroom adds a touch of elegance and, outside, garden furniture invites you to linger over evening meals beneath open skies. The cottage is part of the Goodmans House grounds, a hidden gem set within 8 acres of unspoiled rural landscape.

As you wander the estate, you’ll discover open meadows, wooded corners, and far-reaching views stretching across two counties. Two large ponds reflect the changing skies and draw local wildlife, while the Duck Pond offers a charming setting for a relaxed afternoon — complete with a fire pit, bench seating, and a picnic table perfect for spontaneous outdoor eating. The Walled Garden is perhaps the heart of the estate, home to the elegant Orangery.
Comfortably furnished and thoughtfully designed, it’s a tranquil spot to enjoy a quiet drink, whether you’re seeking solitude or sharing moments with friends.

For those who love to explore, benches and gazebos are scattered throughout the grounds, inviting you to pause and take in the scenery. Just five miles away, the market town of Axminster offers local shops, cafes, and the convenience of a small town, while the famous Jurassic Coast at Lyme Regis lies only 11 miles distant. Whether you’re drawn by the sea, the rolling hills, or simply the peace of the countryside, this cottage offers a memorable escape at the gateway to Devon and Dorset.
