Perfectly positioned overlooking the sparkling waters of pastel-painted Brixham, this beautiful family home offers your family a gorgeous coastal retreat on the English Riviera. The light and airy interior takes its inspiration from the home's stunning seaside setting, with grey and blue hues, beautifully intertwined driftwood lamps and even a cute beach hut in the children's room. Arranged over two floors, the property's three bedrooms are located on the lower floor and have calming neutral decor, comfortable mattresses and bird's eye harbour views from the two adult rooms. The standout space is the open-plan upper floor with its bespoke kitchen, sociable dining area and inviting living space – it's an ideal spot to spend time together as a family. Huge sliding doors lead onto a furnished balcony with stunning views to accompany your morning coffee or evening sundowner session. The town tumbles down the hillside towards the horseshoe-shaped bay, where you'll find a variety of wonderful brunch spots and restaurants – many of them serving the catch of the day – within a ten-minute walk. Local standouts include The Curious Kitchen, Rockfish and Albero. You're within a fifteen-minute drive from some of Torbay's finest beaches. However, our personal choice would... be to escape the crowds and walk twenty minutes to the secluded shingle beach at Fishcombe Cove – it's a local favourite for a reason.

About Brixham
If you’re looking for a friendly, traditional town from which to enjoy the English Riviera, consider booking a place to stay along the cobbled streets of Brixham. Clustered along the water’s edge and rising with the hills, the homes of Brixham are a particularly pretty sight at night, when the light from their interiors reflects off the sea below. But that’s not to say they’re not delightful in the day,...
