Blackpool Sands, the next cove over, served as a filming location for\u00a0The Roses, starring Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch. In the 2025 film, South Devon convincingly stands in for Northern California, its clear waters and steep, green cliffs reflecting the same rugged coastal drama.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/robbreport.com\/shelter\/homes-for-sale\/ladyswood-house-cotswolds-wiltshire-1237729493\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/robbreport.com\/shelter\/homes-for-sale\/ladyswood-house-cotswolds-wiltshire-1237729493\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">RELATED: A 120-Year-Old Home on 60 Bucolic Acres in the Cotswolds Lists for $13 Million<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/robbreport.com\/wp-content\/themes\/pmc-robbreport-2017-v2\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.gif\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/redlap-house13.jpg\" alt=\"redlap house\" data-lazy- data-lazy- height=\"768\" width=\"1024\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\tThe private cove is set below steep cliffs along the South Devon coast.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBlue Book Agency<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tParts of the main house date to the late 18th century\u2014it is thought to have originally been built for the governor of Dartmouth\u2014and the property has long been linked to smuggling.

In the 1930s, it belonged to actor and theater manager Cyril Maude, whose circle included poet John Masefield. And, so the story goes, King George V visited the property during his time as Prince of Wales.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe six-bedroom residence measures about 8,500 square feet with both formal reception rooms and informal living spaces. Many of the principal rooms are oriented toward Start Bay, with large sash and French windows designed to take in the vistas.
