Wake up to sea views and feel instantly calm watching the waves pulse against the sides of bobbing boats in the harbour. Set in a desirable spot on the seafront at Berry Head National Nature Reserve, this Grade II listed coastguard’s cottage is just a short walk from Brixham town centre. Return to this cottage fresh-faced and revived at the end of the day for an evening in the garden watching the sun sink into the sea.
The interior of this period cottage reflects the calm of its seafront position. Panoramic views are the main attraction when you’re relaxing in an armchair in the open-plan living area. On the ground floor, there is also a snug room with a TV and sofa bed, if anyone is looking for some quiet time. The master bedroom suite, which possesses amazing sea views, is found on the second floor of the house, a private space where you can feel away from it all. The back garden of the cottage is a beautiful enclosed lawn area where you can step out of the gate and onto the coastal path. There is off-road parking available for two cars.
Walk around the coast path and into the bustling harbour of the town, where you can hop on a boat cruise to Torquay or embark on a fishing trip. Found at the northern end of Brixham, this property is near a shingle beach surrounded on three sides by tall red sandstone cliffs and dog-friendly all year round. For a truly memorable day out, travel 30 miles west to Bigbury-on-Sea and take a 5-minute stroll across the beach to Burgh Island - at high tide, you can jump on the sea tractor which carries passengers through the waves.
