Residing in the charming town of Brixham, Devon, this delightful end terrace house offers an idyllic retreat for couples seeking a peaceful getaway. Nestled near the bustling harbour, guests can immerse themselves in the vibrant atmosphere filled with fishing boats, pleasure craft, and ferries that connect to the nearby resort town of Torquay. The harbour area and the town itself are perfect for leisurely strolls, with opportunities to explore local shops and indulge in the region's renowned seafood at various pubs and restaurants. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the coastal paths that lead out of town, providing breathtaking views of the bay and access to secluded beaches like St Mary’s Bay and Fishcombe Cove.
The property, known as The Lookout, is strategically perched above the outer harbour, offering spectacular vistas over the marina, breakwater, and across Torbay to Torquay. Accessed via a private pedestrian approach, guests can choose between two flights of stairs, either 7 or 17 steps, adorned with wrought iron railings. This charming home is ideally suited for a cozy weekend retreat, featuring a ground floor that includes a comfortable lounge, a well-equipped kitchen, and a separate dining room. The lounge invites relaxation with its inviting atmosphere, complete with a coal effect electric fire and a Smart TV/DVD player, while the dining room provides a formal setting for meals beside an electric effect log burner.
On the first floor, guests will find a double bedroom that boasts an en suite shower room and scenic views over the harbour. An additional bathroom on this level features a relaxing roll top bath, separate shower, and WC, enhancing the property's appeal. The outdoor space is equally impressive, with three levels of terraces accessible from the ground floor. These terraces, reached by steep unlit steps, offer stunning views over Torbay, making them an ideal spot for enjoying drinks while soaking in the picturesque surroundings. It is important to note that guests should exercise caution when using the steps at night due to the lack of lighting.
For added convenience, the owners provide a free parking space at the nearby marina car park, located just 400 metres from the property, which must be arranged prior to arrival. With its prime location, comfortable amenities, and breathtaking views, The Lookout in Brixham serves as a perfect sanctuary for couples looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy a tranquil holiday by the sea.
