Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
If you looked around this home without knowing anything about the local area, we think you'd still probably be able to guess that it's located somewhere close to the coast. What gives it away? Perhaps the whitewashed beach-hut aesthetic or the array of nautical artwork, including a glass cabinet full of conch shells in the bedroom. The standard of design throughout is pleasingly high, from the pristinely subway-tiled kitchen to the equally spotless bathroom. With this level of modernity, it might surprise you to learn that the cottage is in fact Grade-II listed, one of a large number of buildings in Brixham. It's easy to see more of these from the home's central location in the sleepy Devon fishing village, especially as you make the five-minute walk down to the harbour. If the weather's looking particularly fine, a day at the seaside can be had at Churston Cove or St Mary's Bay, reached in twenty and thirty minutes on foot respectively.

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,...
