Occupying a SUPERB COASTAL POSITION encompassing a wide panoramic
sea view over Lyme Bay, Clovercombe is unique in having no other
properties between itself and the sea.
Built in 1928 with part timbered gabled elevations, this character
detached house features a WIDE MARINE VIEW BALCONY and a veranda,
both looking out over beautiful Lyme Bay and the coastline
stretching from Teignmouth, Lyme Regis around to Portland Bill. The
property, whilst in good order, would benefit from some updating
but offers a wonderful canvas for a new owner to place their
stamp.
Tucked away in pretty gardens with a high degree of privacy,
Clovercombe is in fact just a short level walk from all the
amenities of St Marychurch and yards from a bus service into the
town centre and harbour, a local golf course and sailing club are
also within a level walk as are also superb Babbacombe Downs
seafront gardens.
Quite simply one of the best marine locations in the Bay.
