Millionaire left with even better sea view after cliff landslide

After spending £1.5million and waiting 18 months, Nick Skilton was weeks away from moving into his brand new luxury cliff-top home.



But his sea view will be somewhat closer than he expected – after 80ft of his garden and tons of earth and trees disappeared in a landslide, leaving the house only yards from a 130ft sheer drop.

The businessman says he is unconcerned about his home's apparently precarious new position.

But pictures taken yesterday suggest he may be putting on a brave face as experts warned he is unlikely to be able to insure the four-bedroom home, which has a spiral glass staircase and indoor swimming pool.

Update: There's a news video here.
