Description
Upon entering the property guests will discover a colourful stained glass front door panel depicting a fishing trawler which nods to Brixham’s illustrious fishing history; and a painted staircase in the entrance hall leads to the upper two floors where the living / dining room, kitchen and master bedroom can be found.
On the ground level there are two airy bedrooms, a double and a twin, with large windows in both lending a bright and welcoming atmosphere. The twin room features a decorative fireplace while the double has wonderful sea views, and there is a contemporary family bathroom complete with freestanding bathtub and enormous walk-in shower on this floor as well.
Upstairs the living room incorporates a dining area with seating for six. Large windows mean the ocean panorama beyond takes centre stage, with comfortable seating and plush furnishings creating a lovely vantage point from which to take in the ever-changing scenes of the harbour and bay below. Three steps down from the living room, the modern galley kitchen is newly fitted and bright with high gloss units and a range of small and large appliances provided to make home cooking a cinch.
From this floor there is access to the steep multi-level back garden which has a furnished terrace with dining table and chairs, as well as a further elevated deck with table and bench seating. Upstairs on the top floor, the terrific en-suite master bedroom features a king size bed and plenty of storage, and three large windows bring the blue and greens of the bay’s waters from the outside in.
Set within Torbay, Brixham is well-positioned as a base from which to explore the neighbouring towns and beaches of Paignton and Torquay which are all just a short drive, ferry or bus journey away. Closer to home visitors can enjoy a relaxing day on one of the area’s local pebble coves at either Fishcombe or Churston, both of which make for a scenic spot for enjoying a walk or for taking a refreshing dip in the cool clear waters of the bay. Slightly further away but still within easy reach is the South Hams town of Dartmouth which is a lovely place to enjoy a wander along the River Dart or a visit to its castle.
