  • Large private balcony off the lounge with outside seating space
  • Three-storey marine house offering fantastic views over Brixham Marina
  • Upside-down layout to make the most of the views
Property code: BX026

With breathtaking views over Brixham Marina, this three-storey home is the perfect pad for pottering around this quaint Devon harbour town. Stroll into the centre to sample the catch of the day, take to the South West Coast Path for some magnificent scenery or catch the ferry across to nearby Torquay. Once you have finished exploring, return to your private balcony to enjoy a delicious drink or meal alfresco while watching the boats come in for the night.

Inside, this beautifully presented home is sunny and bright throughout with rustic oak flooring, antique furniture and extensive windows for admiring the spectacular vistas surrounding you. Cook up a storm in the stylish, contemporary kitchen before dining with a view. When you’re not soaking up the sunshine on the balcony, hunker down in the spacious lounge area, where floor to ceiling windows offer an ever-changing backdrop all year round.

Located less than half a mile from the centre of Brixham, this property is ideally located for exploring its bustling streets and busy working harbour. Browse the independent shops, cafes and galleries and enjoy a slower pace of life on one of the beaches or jump on board one of the many fishing, ferry or pleasure boats that leave from the harbour each day. Lively Torquay is just a ferry ride or an 8-mile drive away, the art scene in Totnes is 10 miles away and picturesque Dartmouth is a 5-mile drive and car ferry ride away.

  • Two bedrooms:
  • 1 king-size bed
  • 1 twin(3ft bed and a 2ft 6in bed)
  • Bathroom with shower-over-bath and WC, plus cloakroom with WC
  • 55 inch Smart TV.+ DVD in the main lounge
  • TV in the dining area
  • Electric oven, gas hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer.
  • Top Gallant includes very rare designated parking on a private driveway, which is very much worth the walk of between 5 and 15 minutes- dependent on how directly you go and how quickly you walk. Alternatively, you can choose a slightly shorter walk to free parking in the roads surrounding the property
  • Seafront, pub, and shops all within walking distance
  • Like many Brixham harbour properties, the wooden staircase is original so turns with some restricted head height and may not be suitable for anyone who suffers from significant mobility issues
  • Brixham is busy fishing village situated on a very steep hill, so access to some parts of the village can be challenging.
  • Many of the amenities and cottages in Brixham are accessed via steps some of which can be steep. Please contact us if you have specific requirements.
  • There are many small winding streets that are not suitable for cars.
  • The owners regret that no form of 'Welcome Pack' can be provided as they do not live in Devon and as the cleaners are unable to do so
  • This property will be decorated for Christmas
  • Arrival: 15:00 onwards
  • Departure: before 10:00, unless otherwise stated in your arrival details
  • Sorry, no dogs allowed

Another stay at Top Gallant. As before a well equipped and comfortable cottage with all that you need to enjoy your stay, including a parking space, albeit on the other side of the harbour. And of course, the view, which is the icing on the cake and never fails to deliver. Sadly our final stay at Top Gallant for no other reason than the stairs, whiRead morech proved more than a challenge this time. Hide

Fantastic location. Well equipped apartment. Parking a definite bonus. The balcony is great for people watching and enjoying the weather. Easy walk to harbour where you will find plenty of places to eat. We will definitely be returning.

Lovely cottage, great balcony, every amenity is provided. As mentioned in the description, the wooden circular staircase from the kitchen/dining room to the lounge and balcony is for the able bodied. It is an art however, carrying 2 cups of tea up and down from the kitchen to the balcony to the enjoy the morning sun. We were sat there at 7.20am mosRead moret mornings enjoying the sun and harbour views as Brixham wakes up. Hide

Good views over the inner harbour. It was nice to have the double doors open in the kitchen dinner while having breakfast, this brings the open air feeling alfresco with the lovely views.

Fabulous views and located close to the town Centre. As mentioned by other guests, the stairs are narrow and very curved but manageable with care. Plenty of space in the dining room and living room. Good facilities but plumbing needs some attention.

If a view of Brixham Harbour Bowl is top of your list then Top Gallant delivers in abundance. A lovely three storey cottage overlooking the harbour with outside space to take in the spectacular vista and watch the bustle of the port day and night.
