A house that has seen part of its garden crumble away in a cliff fall is set to go under the hammer.
The cliff-top house was designed and built in the 1960s for novelist RF Delderfield and is to be auctioned with a guide price of £250,000.
It is situated on Peak Hill Road overlooking Jacob’s Ladder Beach, which has been closed until at least 2027.
Estate agents Bradleys said the three-bed and two-bathroom property suffered in recent years after a cliff fall within the very far boundary of the garden, and that a full cliff survey was within its legal pack. East Devon District Council said people on the beach should stay away from the cliff.
Estate agent Ben Morgan, in charge of the sale, also sold when it was last on the market in 2011.
He said: “It’s very kind the current owner came back.
“Since we sold it, there has been a cliff fall on the very far boundary – there is 40ft (12m) of garden before you get to that cliff edge.
“But transparency is so important for us… The owner’s been great. She’s got a full cliff survey done, which we’ve got available within the legal pack.”
