Detached Victorian cottage with panoramic harbour views and modern upgrades, move-in ready.
Exceptional panoramic harbour and sea views from principal rooms
Set high above Brixham harbour, this detached fisherman’s cottage combines striking panoramic sea and harbour views with freshly modernised interiors. Arranged over four levels, the home offers three bedrooms (master with en-suite), a new high-spec kitchen/diner, and two private outside spaces — a paved terrace and raised balcony ideal for afternoon and evening sun. Recent upgrades include a new roof (2020), full external re-render and professional damp-proofing with guarantees, so the property is essentially move-in ready.
The cottage retains characterful Victorian proportions and granite walls while offering modern comforts such as gas central heating, double glazing, and contemporary bathing facilities on principal floors. The compact but well-planned accommodation (circa 965 sq ft) makes efficient use of space, with principal rooms designed to maximise the harbour outlook — a significant value driver in this location.
Practicalities are straightforward: freehold tenure, Council Tax Band D, and unrestricted on-street parking nearby. The harbourside, beaches and town centre are within easy walking distance, with a wide choice of shops, cafés and amenities close by. Broadband and mobile signals are reported as fast and excellent respectively, supporting modern working needs.
Buyers should note material considerations honestly: the property sits in an area of higher-than-average crime and within a very deprived local area classification. External stone walls are original granite with assumed no added insulation, which could affect long-term running costs and may present opportunities for sympathetic upgrading. The garden/yard areas are limited in size, and parking is on-street rather than private. Overall, this is a character-filled, newly renovated coastal home that will appeal to buyers seeking immediate enjoyment of exceptional harbour views and easy access to Brixham’s waterfront.
