Set on one of Brixham’s most photographed steps, this Grade II listed fisherman's cottage offers a rare three-bedroom layout with sea and harbour views. The house feels characterful and cosy, with exposed limestone walling, a wood-burning stove in the lounge and recently fitted bathroom and en suite. Its position — around two minutes’ walk from the waterfront and town centre amenities — is the property's strongest asset for family life or a central coastal base.
Internally the accommodation is practical: a separate lounge, kitchen-diner that fits a small table, three upstairs bedrooms including a top-floor principal with walk-in wardrobe and en suite, plus a private rear courtyard. Gas central heating with a combi boiler provides reliable warmth alongside the stove. The footprint is modest at about 677 sqft, so rooms are compact rather than spacious; the house is one of the larger cottages on the terrace but still small by modern family-home standards.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status. Listing protects the attractive frontage and historic fabric but will complicate alterations and may add consent costs and time to any works. The terrace’s stone walls are likely uninsulated and the building will need careful maintenance to preserve its character. The plot is very small and outdoor space is limited to the private courtyard.
The location is ideal for those wanting to live in the heart of Brixham with immediate access to shops, schools and the harbour. Crime levels in the area are above average and the wider neighbourhood ranks as deprived, which some buyers will want to consider. For anyone seeking a central, character-filled seaside home with excellent mobile signal and straightforward heating, this cottage represents authentic coastal living with the responsibilities of owning a listed property.
