Seller Story
"Cliff Lodge holds many special family memories for us. Our parents saw the potential to open up the space and create a beautiful home that takes in every possible view of the bay. It has been a privilege to enjoy such an incredible outlook every day. With the beaches, marina, and so many restaurants and theatres within walking distance, this is a truly special place to call home."
Inside
A glazed entrance porch opens into the welcoming reception hall, where double doors lead into the impressive sitting room. Full-width patio doors frame the magnificent views and open directly onto the sun terrace and pool. Two steps lead up to the dining room, which also enjoys a spectacular outlook.
The kitchen is beautifully appointed with high-gloss cabinetry, solid stone worktops, a central island, and a circular inset sink. Integrated appliances include twin Neff ovens and a ceramic hob with recessed extractor, with space provided for an American-style fridge-freezer. Twin patio doors open directly to the terrace and pool. The adjacent utility room offers additional storage and workspace, with matching cabinetry and stone worktops.
Upstairs, the galleried landing with arched window provides a bright and welcoming space. The principal bedroom enjoys breathtaking views across Tor Bay towards Berry Head and benefits from fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom. The en-suite features a jet spa bath positioned beneath a picture window, a separate shower, vanity unit, and WC.
Bedroom two also offers outstanding sea views and fitted wardrobes, while bedroom three is an impressive guest suite with vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, and an en-suite shower room.

Outside
To the front, a block-paved driveway provides parking and access to the integral garage with remote-controlled roller door, useful storage, and utility facilities.
The rear gardens are a particular highlight, with the full-width sun terrace providing an exceptional vantage point across the bay. Ornate balustrading and gentle steps lead down to a central tier with a heated outdoor swimming pool measuring approximately 7.88m x 4.56m. Further steps lead to two lower tiers, which are mainly gravelled and lawned for ease of maintenance. Mature planting, flowers, and shrubs create a wonderfully private and peaceful setting.
