Overview
Property code: BX034

This property is located at the end of a no-through road, just seconds from Brixham’s main beach, Breakwater Beach, which is named after the town’s impressive 0.5 mile long breakwater which gives visitors the wonderful opportunity to walk out across the waves and look back at the town itself. It is also a popular spot for fishing and there is a café where you can get a bite to eat. The focus of the town is the busy harbour, which is not only home to the town’s fishing fleet, but is also the starting point for a number of pleasure trips around the bay, which is a delightful way for visitors to spend a few hours: if they are lucky, they may even spot the dolphins who visit Torbay from time to time.

On arrival at this property, guests can leave their car in the covered car port before entering the house, where they will find the ground floor bedroom. This is a king-size room which benefits not only from an en-suite shower room with WC, but also from a private balcony with table and chairs overlooking the seafront and Brixham’s breakwater. Taking the stairs to the first floor, guests will find the open-plan living space which comprises a spacious lounge/diner, and kitchen to the rear of the property. The space has been lovingly styled and the owners have created a restful light-filled space, which has the added benefit of large windows and a patio door opening onto the balcony. The lounge area is at the seafront side of the room, with its comfortable seating, TV, and DVD, whilst the dining table is set towards the rear of the room. The kitchen includes an oven, hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. Two more bedrooms, both king-size rooms are situated on the second floor of the house, one of which offers spectacular panoramic sea views. The shower room on this floor has a large walk-in shower and WC.

Outside, there are two separate balconies with seating from which guests can sit and watch the ever-changing scenery of the beach and the sea. There is a private car port for one car on the ground floor of the property.

We loved it and have booked a return trip. As the house/parking port was at the end of the row of houses would it be possible to park a second vehicle behind the one under the car port as it wouldnt be in the way of anyone else if it was parked carefully be the plant pots?

Apart from the unsuitable arrangement of all three bedrooms having double beds, the cottage was perfectly located with spectacular views over the harbour and bay from all therre balconies. We had all necessary facilites that were in good order and appreciated the on-site parking directly next to the entrance door.

Brilliant location with stunning views. We found it difficult to tear ourselves away as always something to watch. We managed the private path down (taking care) without a problem.
