Cliff House situated on Livermead Head in Torquay on the English Riviera is now for sale privately for the first time since it was built in 1923. Cliff House is a fine example of a late period “Arts and Crafts” house. Built in 1923 for the vendor’s grandfather who was a Victorian entrepreneur & brick manufacturer the property occupies a very secluded position yet enjoying one of the best views over Torbay from several vantage points in its extensive grounds.

Large reception room with high ceilings are a feature of the ground-floor accommodation and all the original Oak and Mahogany woodwork and panelling are still in place. The Drawing Room with an open period fireplace retains a wealth of 1920s features including the piano which was regularly played by the vendor's aunt who was a member of the D'Oyly Carte Opera company - the nearby Coleton Fishacre being the Devon home of the D'Oyly Carte family. Agatha Christie who was born in Torquay & lived nearby at Greenway on the River Dart was also believed to have visited Cliff House on a number of occasions as she moved in the same social circles as the vendor's family.
