Cosy two-bedroom home with terrace views and a courtyard close to the harbour..
Sea glimpses from top-floor bedroom
A warm, characterful two-bedroom end-of-terrace cottage set on the hillside above Brixham harbour. The home feels cosy: a principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes, a top-floor bedroom with sea glimpses and exposed stone, and a family room centred on a log-burning stove and wooden floors. The modern kitchen opens onto a rear courtyard; an upper terrace provides a small garden perfect for al-fresco dining and harbour views.
Practical positives include mains gas boiler and radiators, double glazing installed after 2002, freehold tenure, and fast mobile and broadband speeds — useful for homeowners or short-term rental guests. The property is currently a successful holiday let and can be sold fully furnished with future bookings included, offering immediate income potential or a turnkey move-in option.
Notable drawbacks are factual and should be considered: the cottage is compact (approximately 58 sq m/624 sq ft) with a small plot, a single family bathroom, and traditional sandstone/limestone walls that are assumed uninsulated. The area records higher deprivation indices, which may influence local services and long-term value for some buyers. There is no increased flood risk.
This cottage will suit first-time buyers seeking a manageable, character home near town and the harbour, or buyers wanting a proven holiday let with easy changeover. It requires mostly cosmetic updates rather than major structural work, though upgrading wall insulation and room layouts could improve comfort and long-term running costs.
