Rea Barn Close, Brixham, Devon

Description

Designed for modern, energy-efficient living, this stylish and highly versatile home offers flexible accommodation ideal for families, multi-generational living or anyone seeking accessible ground-floor space. The layout currently provides a generous ground-floor bedroom with en-suite facilities, alongside two further double bedrooms upstairs and a contemporary family bathroom. At the heart of the home is a bright and spacious open-plan living area, combining the kitchen, dining and sitting spaces to create a sociable and practical family hub with direct access onto the wraparound gardens. A separate utility room, ground-floor cloakroom and integral garage add further convenience, while underfloor heating throughout the ground floor enhances comfort throughout the year. The property also benefits from substantial additional loft space which offers excellent potential to create a further bedroom with en-suite facilities if required, subject to any necessary permissions.

Outside

Externally, the wraparound gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped to create a series of distinct outdoor areas, each offering its own character and purpose, creating a private and versatile outdoor space ideal for both relaxing and family life. Closest to the front of the property is a natural garden featuring two small wildlife ponds and a variety of native planting. This leads round to a secluded seating area which enjoys a particularly sunny aspect and provides an ideal sheltered sun trap for outdoor dining and entertaining. Beyond this is a productive vegetable plot and raised bed area, complete with compost bins and a potting shed, before the garden continues around the house and returns to the front of the property.

The property also offers excellent parking and storage facilities. The covered driveway provides ample space for a large vehicle under cover, while the integral garage is exceptionally spacious, comfortably accommodating a large vehicle whilst still providing ample room for a workbench, tools and additional storage. In addition, there is potential to create further off-road parking to the front and side of the property if desired, subject to reconfiguring and repurposing part of the existing side garden area. A major feature of the property is its impressive energy efficiency. The home benefits from solar panels installed in 2024, battery storage and an air-source heat pump, helping to significantly reduce running costs. The current owners advise that the electricity generated and sold back to the grid has, at times, fully offset the property’s annual electricity costs.

Particular care has been taken to ensure the property combines sustainability with practicality. The air-source heat pump and rainwater harvesting systems have been discreetly integrated into the design, supporting the home’s low-running-cost efficiency while maintaining the clean and attractive appearance of the outdoor spaces. The established gardens further complement this approach, with wildlife-friendly planting, productive growing areas and a layout designed to create a variety of private and sheltered seating spaces throughout the day. The battery storage system allows excess energy generated during the day to be stored and used efficiently when needed. The property also continues to benefit from the remainder of its 6-year build warranty.

Location

Ideally located less than half a mile from Brixham town centre, the property is also within easy reach of local shops, schools, transport links, coastal walks and the picturesque harbour, making this an outstanding home in a sought-after South Devon location.
