  • 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: OC-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
  • Sorry, no dogs allowed

Lovely well equiped accommodation and great location with fantastic views over the harbour. The parking space is a real plus but be prepared for a steep walk. Ideal for harbour restaurants and pubs.

Beautiful location overlooking the harbour. Watching the sunrise was spectacular, only topped by being fortunate to be in the right place at the right time to see the Red Arrows fly overhead. Stairs are tricky but living space, equipment, comfort etc made up for any drawbacks.

We were so lucky to stay at Top Gallant, a charming and unique house. Brixham is a hidden gem, and Top Gallant is perfectly situated right in the heart of it. We had lovely walks right at our doorstep and all the amenities we needed nearby. Sitting on the top deck and especially on the balcony, just watching Brixham life unfold was truly amazing.

A great location with the added bonus of parking albeit a 10 minute walk away. Some roads are very narrow so not suitable for larger vehicles. Follow the emailed directions and dont use sat nav at the end as you will end up the wrong side of the steps!! Cottage very clean and well equipped and as mentioned in previous comments the stairs are steRead moreep and narrow with not much head room. We enjoyed our brief stay and would recommend. Hide

The cottage was really quirky, well equipped and a fantastic location close to all the amenities in Brixham. The floors are slippery so would definitely recommend taking the socks with grippers as felt it was difficult to walk on the floor even in slippers. Would be on our list of places to return too.

Our second stay, very enjoyable. Wonderful views from windows. Well equipped house and comfortable. Not suitable for people with mobility issues as stairs very steep and floors quite slippery. You will need to hold on going up and down! Close to shops and town centre but be prepared for lots of climbing up hills, worth the effort though! Visited BrRead moreixham several times, always found locals friendly and helpful. Nice cafes in pedestrian area, lots of music and theatre events. Hide

Property was very good and functional. Views are fantastic. As stated by others, the stairs are not easy to use.

The cottage is just wonderful! The location is great and we would sit upstairs or on the kitchen for hours and just watch all the things that go on in the harbour. Yes, the stairs are steep and a tiny bit slippery when you are on socks. So maybe bring some house slippers or socks with a rubber sole. That helps a lot! the location is great and you cRead morean walk everywhere to the restaurants and for grocery shopping. Highly recommend this gem! Hide

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.
