Cottage perched perilously close to cliff edge goes on the market for £295,000

A cottage with spectacular views over the North Sea has come up for sale after being discounted by £200,000 - because it is perched near the edge of a cliff.

The semi-detached four-bedroom house built in the 1820s is around 40ft from the cliff at the end of its garden in Dunwich, near Lowestoft, Suffolk.

Erosion has endangered other homes on the coastline and sent some toppling into the sea. As a result of the potential for disaster the former coastguard cottage, which is in need of extensive renovation, has been priced at £295,000.
