This compact Grade II listed cottage offers a rare, freehold coastal bolthole in the heart of Brixham. Recently renovated throughout, the property is presented ready to use as a turnkey holiday let or a weekend retreat, with original character retained — exposed beams, painted stone walls and sash windows — and modern shower facilities.
At roughly 319 sq ft, the layout is small and efficient: an open-plan living/kitchen at ground level and a generous double bedroom with skylights above. The cottage is heated by electric storage heaters and runs on mains electricity; council tax is low (Band A). Its central Higher Street location places the harbour, shops and cafés within easy walking distance.
There are practical limitations to note. The property’s Grade II listing brings planning constraints and may complicate alterations or maintenance. Wall construction is likely uninsulated sandstone/limestone, and broadband speeds are slow; heating is electric storage which can be costly. There is no private parking or garden — on-street parking and a short-stay town car park are the nearest options.
This is a strong choice for a buyer seeking character, a holiday-let income stream or a compact second home by the sea, provided they accept conservation obligations, modest internal space and running-cost considerations. The freehold status, excellent mobile signal and no flood risk add to its practical appeal.
