Chefs and foodies are being offered the opportunity to get their hands on a stunning cliff-top home which comes complete with a popular fine dining restaurant attached to it.
The View, a 50-cover restaurant and five-bedroom home with a roof-top terrace, is named due to its 180-degree panorama of Whitsand Bay in Cornwall.
It is on the market for £1.5million with estate agents Scott Parry Associates who describe it as a ‘world class seaside location’ and the ‘ultimate lifestyle opportunity’.
The house sits at the top of the 400ft high cliff, with a path down to the beach.
Its panoramic view takes in Rame Head, Eddystone Lighthouse, Looe Island and as far as The Lizard on a clear day.

Estate agent Scott Parry said: ‘Whitsand Bay is noted for its original seaside chalets nestled into the cliff and this property sits at the top of the 400ft high cliff.
‘My client bought it 20 years ago, before that there was a cafe there. He has improved and extended it since he bought it.
‘Now it’s noted for doing really good food, a sort of fine dining, destination restaurant. It’s very popular and noted by various magazines.
‘He’s been a chef all of his career and I think he fancies a change now.

Agents believe it could be the perfect property for a chef to take on or someone who would like to sublet the restaurant
‘Given its location, it’s one of those places where we imagine a chef/owner would take it on, it would do really well either carrying it on as fine dining or changing it to a more traditional beach cafe.
‘It could even be someone who just wants that nice seaside house and then they could hire a manager or sublet the restaurant, they wouldn’t need to run it themselves.
‘If you look along the whole of the UK coastline, you can’t find another property like this.
‘It’s totally dominated by that sea aspect, you can’t not look at it.
‘Whitsand Bay has notable surf spots and you can just walk down the cliffpath in the morning to go for a surf and then head back up to run the business.’
