This traditional, terraced, brick and recently thatched cottage with eyebrow dormer windows which dates back to c. 1420 was, until 300 years ago, part of a medieval homestead in which an extended family would have lived and kept their livestock. Until acquired by its current owners it was part of the Weld Estates of Lulworth Castle which own much of the land in the area.
The downs and woods which run along the coast were used by George III for hunting deer and shooting pheasant during his visits to take the air at Weymouth.
