Minnie Churchill has lived in the 200-year-old property for the last 14 years but is now downsizing and has put it up for sale. It is situated on the edge of Lyme Regis, Dorset, and overlooks the town's Cobb wall where Streep famously stood when she met Jeremy Irons' character for the first time. But the property's main attraction is the unbroken views of the Lyme Bay coastline across to the Isle of Portland, with nothing in the way to blot the landscape.

Mrs Churchill bought it in 1999 privately for £1.2 million. He said: 'The house sits to the west of Lyme Regis and faces the south east, which means it looks down on 26 miles of coastline. 'A French visitor to Ware House once compared the view to the Cote d'Azur to which Minnie Churchill is said to have replied that you can sea wall-to-wall villas on the hillside of the Cote d-Azor whereas you can't see a single house along the coast from the house. It has to be one of the best views in the country and it is a beautiful location. 'Lyme Regis was the setting for the French Lieutenant's Woman and Ware House was used as the main house in the film.' Ware House comes with four reception rooms, six bathrooms, a library and 17 acres of gardens. It also has two cottages within the grounds, a stable courtyard and croquet lawn. Minnie Churchill was married to the late Winston Churchill, the grandson of the war time Prime Minister of the same name. The couple divorced in 1997 and she moved to Ware House two years later.
