Front lawn - grass or clover

My front lawn was previously chuckies. 18 months ago I sowed good quality seed with the intention of ending up with a lush, snooker table flat lawn. Last summer the grass was patchy. I kept it short and reseeded in October 24. Earlier this year I added fertiliser. This helped the grass but the clover has gone crazy. See pics below.
I have been loathe to cut the clover because it is alive with bees but it does look messy.
Is a clover lawn a thing? If so how do I keep it without it becoming a mess.
Or if I go back to the plan how best to tackle the clover and encourage the grass to take over?

Looks fine to me, needs a sheep to graze now !
If you mow it as a lawn, the clover will die out but the grass may benefit from the nitrogen fixing that the clover may have done, subject to innoculation.

 

If you just mow one width of the mower around the edge, it will look tidier and allow the bees to benefit from the clover until the flowers fade. If you'd prefer not to have clover, a lawn weed and feed product will remove it.

 

Thanks for the advice. No sheep available. I wonder if I can train the dog?
I'm going to cut and rake. See how the grass fares and put down weedkiller if needed.
