Mount Pleasant Road, Brixham

An exceptional contemporary coastal home overlooking Brixham harbour, designed by MTA Architects to maximise panoramic sea and town views with private garden and terrace. Ultra energy-efficient with a living roof and air source heat pump, this striking lock-up-and-leave residence sits moments from the harbour, Fore Street and the stunning coastline of Torbay.

An extremely rare opportunity has arisen to acquire one of a pair of striking contemporary dwellings overlooking the beautiful harbour town of Brixham. Designed to maximise panoramic sea and town views, each home benefits from its own sunny garden area, seamlessly blending cutting-edge architecture with an enviable coastal setting.

Created by the highly respected MTA Architects, these homes showcase innovative design and the thoughtful use of premium materials. Environmentally sensitive features are integrated throughout, ensuring the property is as sustainable as it is stylish.

Positioned just above the main Fore Street, the site enjoys a sweeping outlook across old Brixham, the Inner Harbour, the Breakwater, and across the waters of Torbay. The elevated vantage point provides ever-changing coastal vistas, from fishing boats departing at dawn to golden sunsets over the bay.

Accessed via a small lane above Fore Street and just off Mount Pleasant Road, the plot is enclosed by attractive original stone walls that reflect the historic charm of the surrounding area. The architects have cleverly utilised the two principal levels of the site to create a home that feels both private and expansive.

Nestling comfortably among character cottages, the property offers a refined yet welcoming contemporary living environment. The contrast between old and new enhances its appeal, delivering modern comfort within a timeless coastal setting.

Moments away lie Brixham’s bustling streets, filled with independent cafés, renowned seafood restaurants, traditional pubs, and boutique shops. Excellent transport links, including regular bus services and a large taxi rank, ensure convenience for both residents and visitors alike.

Within two miles, spectacular coastal walks await, including the dramatic cliffs of Berry Head Country Park, the scenic beauty of Sharkham Point, the peaceful shores of Elberry Cove, and the iconic Brixham Breakwater. These natural landmarks offer endless opportunities for exploration and relaxation.

The property would serve beautifully as a “lock it and leave it” holiday retreat, providing effortless coastal living with minimal maintenance. Equally, it presents a fabulous permanent residence for those wishing to immerse themselves in the vibrant marine atmosphere year-round.

This is truly a superb opportunity to acquire a contemporary, high-quality home in a historic and highly sought-after harbour setting — a rare combination of architectural excellence and prime location.

The semi-detached marine-style home welcomes you with a generous, light-filled entrance that flows effortlessly into the principal open-plan living space. A striking circular staircase creates an immediate architectural focal point, leading gracefully to the sleeping accommodation below.

The main living area is impressively proportioned, easily accommodating both lounge and dining furniture. Vaulted ceilings with Velux windows flood the space with natural light, while doors open directly onto the sea-view terrace, framing exceptional views across the town and harbour.

The contemporary fitted kitchen is both stylish and practical, featuring a comprehensive range of matching wall and base units. Fully integrated appliances and a sleek breakfast bar make it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining guests.

A superb separate sitting room provides exceptional flexibility. Enjoying stunning town and sea views, it would make an excellent study, creative studio, or even a fourth bedroom if required, adapting easily to changing lifestyle needs.

Practical touches include a guest WC on the main level, complete with low-level flush WC and wash hand basin. The sea-view terrace, accessed from the principal living area, projects outward to capture the very best of the panoramic outlook while remaining shielded for privacy from the adjoining property.

A tower-style staircase descends to the lower hallway, thoughtfully designed to enhance privacy for the bedroom accommodation. On this level are three generous double bedrooms, two with beautifully finished en suite shower rooms featuring quality fixtures, fittings, and contemporary tiling. A separate family bathroom offers both bath and shower facilities. The lower garden, laid with Indian sandstone for ease of maintenance, provides a perfect space for al fresco dining. Completing this exceptional home are ultra energy-efficient credentials, including a living roof, an impressive B energy rating, air source heat pump, and underfloor heating throughout with individual room thermostats — delivering modern coastal luxury at its finest.
