A UNIQUE MARINE SIDE PROPERTY WITH OUTSTANDING SEA AND COASTAL VIEWS. 'Cliff Edge' is aptly named, although comfortably set back behind the wooded slopes descending down to Lyme Bay, there are no properties between this lovely DETACHED PROPERTY and the sea.

Built in the 1950's for a local business family, the present owner has completely re-designed the property to form a lovely three level home enjoying a LARGE FULL WIDTH SUN TERRACE that links the French doors that open from both the lounge and kitchen/family room. THE PANORAMIC SEA VIEWS ARE QUITE STUNNING from the whole terrace and all southerly windows encompassing the cliffs at Babbacombe Beach and sweeping around to the lovely Babbacombe Downs.

One of the remarkable things about Cliff Edge is its close proximity to the excellent amenities of St Marychurch that lie just a level 500 yard walk away. Cliff Edge is tucked away at the end of a private unmade road, away from noise or traffic and within a few yards walk along a footpath to the cliff railway taking one down to Babbacombe Beach for bathing in clement weather.

Torquay town and harbour are approximately two and a half miles distant where waterside restaurants and more comprehensive shopping can be found. A rail station connects via Newton Abbot to Paddington, London with the motorway network beginning at Haldon Hill approximately half an hour distant.
