Boasting a fantastic location close to Brixham town centre, this Grade II listed fisherman’s cottage is a wonderful bolthole for seaside getaways. Lovingly finished in a distinctly coastal theme, the accommodation offers a tasteful blend of old and new. When you’re not enjoying an al fresco drink on the private patio, take a stroll into town to browse the array of independent shops, cafes and galleries.
Inside, a spacious lounge displays a charming nautical theme with a panelled wall and original sash window, perfect for cosying up with a good book in the afternoon. Head down steep, cottage-style stairs to the lower ground floor where there’s a contemporary kitchen offering a stylish space for rustling up delicious meals. Heading back upstairs via more steep stairs, you’ll find the property’s two bedrooms: a double and a twin. In warm weather, there’s no better place to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or an evening glass of wine than on the small patio area, which is surrounded by plants and greenery.
With a range of interesting shops and well-regarded restaurants, Brixham is a thriving town all year round. Jump on board one of the fishing cruises that leave from the harbour each day or take a more leisurely trip on a pleasure boat to explore the coastline. When the sun shines, take to nearby Breakwater beach (1 mile), famed as one of the area’s cleanest, or head to Berry Head Nature Reserve for wildlife watching, rock climbing or dog walking (2 miles).
