Higher Street, Brixham

A beautifully presented GRADE II LISTED THREE BEDROOM FISHERMANS COTTAGE in the heart of the harbour on favoured HIGHER STREET. Characterful, quirky with a contemporary finish. Low maintenance & sunny rear courtyard garden. NO ONWARD CHAIN.

The Old Bakehouse is a Grade II listed cottage located in one of Brixham's most highly sought after streets - famed for its perfect position to the town and harbour and enjoying a very pretty street scene with the lovely pastel colour cottages leading towards the water's edge. The heart of the port is literally 5 minutes walk away with the Southwest coastal path leading through the winding harbour up to Berry Head Country park to one side and Brixham's famous coves on the other side. There is something for all the family to enjoy near by - from crabbing on the harbour's edge to some of Torbay's finest restaurants and pubs all to hand.

The property is deceptively spacious, being arranged over 4 floors and has been lovingly restored by our vendors who have created a wonderful home-from-home whilst retaining much of the quirk and character that these Brixham cottages are renowned for. Entering in through the stable door (a quintessential feature of Higher Street!) there is a spacious, light-and-bright living room which is beautifully presented and boasting an attractive wood burner set into the stone fireplace.

On the first floor is a good sized stylish family bathroom, with a white 3-piece suite and storage cupboard (housing the good quality Ideal Logic combi-boiler which services the central heating system). The modern galley-style kitchen is of typical proportions for the property and offers direct access out to the rear courtyard. Bedroom 2 is to the front of the first floor and is a large, light-and-bright double bedroom, which again is very well presented and offers good built-in storage options. The Master Bedroom is on the second floor (with plenty of room for a superking bed), with similar sized generous proportions as Bedroom 2 and the added bonus of a contemporary ensuite shower room. The third bedroom, in the loft (and atop some typically steep steps) is a wonderfully quirky space, enjoys a lovely open view forwards over Brixham and towards the harbour, and french UPVC doors providing fire-escape access out to the rear.

Outside, there is a fantastic courtyard garden, which is a genuine sun-trap. Split over two gentle levels, the space is low maintenance and quiet with two seating areas and is ideal for BBQing in the warmer months. or entertaining guests.
