This smart Devon home is ideal for groups planning a trip to the seaside. Located in the town of Brixham, just a couple of streets away from the water, it's a fabulous place to begin your adventures. You'll love the charming nods to the coastal location dotted throughout the house – spot the rope lamp, whale sculpture, and plenty of maritime-themed artworks. The bright and airy kitchen is perfect for whipping up some delicious dishes using fresh, local ingredients. Serve up your culinary creations at the long dining bench, or head outside for an alfresco feast on the patio. And, when you need a little peace and quiet, you can settle into the sunroom with a good book and a cup of tea – bliss. A ten-minute stroll will bring you down to the Brixham Harbour, where you can watch the boats bobbing in the water. Wander further along the waterfront, and you'll find a saltwater swimming pool and Berry Head fishing point. And, as this is the English Riviera, there are plenty of excellent beaches to discover nearby – we recommend the long sandy shoreline of Broadsands Beach, a twelve-minute drive away.

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,...
