Property description
Combining charm and style in equal measure, this substantial Victorian villa commands breathtaking views over Brixham Harbour and Tor Bay. The key side and many eateries pubs and shops of this picturesque fishing town are just a short stroll away. Nearby are the coast-and-country attractions of beautiful South Devon – with its fascinating coastal walks and buzzing local historic towns such as Dartmouth and Totnes – all of which make Brixham the perfect lifestyle choice.
The spacious and flexible accommodation has been sensitively refurbished throughout, retaining many original period features. Subtle interior tones by Farrow & Ball and Little Greene blend beautifully with the large all-new oak kitchen and luxurious bathrooms.
The sizeable first-floor bedroom is currently used as a lounge whose bay windows provide impressive sea views, whilst the attic master bedroom has equally panoramic views. Outside, the sunny, open aspect of the front terrace is complemented by a private courtyard to the rear. To understand the true value of this unique property, viewing is highly recommended.
