Cliff-edge cottage to go under the hammer

A house which has seen part of its garden crumble away in a cliff fall is to go up for auction.

The property in Sidmouth, Devon, was designed and built in the 1960s for novelist RF Delderfield.

The three-bed and two-bathroom cottage is to go under the hammer, with a set guide price of £250,000.

Estate agents Bradleys said there was a cliff fall within the very far boundary of the garden, and that a full cliff survey was within its legal pack.
