The hamlet of Dowlands gives its name to the extensive landslip (1839) between Seaton and Lyme Regis, also known as the Undercliff Nature Reserve. Local people in Dowlands charged visitors in the 1840s a fee for access across the fields to see the landslip, and set up businesses selling refreshments and souvenirs. The house give the appearance of being older than its construction date of mid-19th century.
