Property description

Ref: 1428.
A very rare opportunity to purchase a Detached "Chocolate Box" Cottage in the heart of the "Harbour Bowl". With fantastic views over the Inner Harbour, Fish Quay, Marina and across the Breakwater out to sea. A dream property for those wanting a character small "lock it and leave it" home in Brixham.
The waterfront and main shops are just a few minutes walk away - through the charming narrow streets. Within a mile radius are many beautiful coastal walks including Berry Head Country Park, The Breakwater, Battery Gardens and Elberry Cove. There is direct access to most of the central amenities.
In 2004 and 2005 the property underwent a major programme of refurbishment works including a new roof, some new floors, re-wiring and re-plumbing plus the addition of a smart new kitchen and bathroom. Works were carried out with great sympathy and attention to not detracting from the original "feel" of the cottage. A very successful blend of modern day necessities with character. The cottage has gas central heating and pvc-u double glazed window units.
The cottage 'perches' over the Harbour and receives great sunlight. The living room is particularly light and bright having a generous size bay window which maximises the 180 degree view. The kitchen has a good size area for a dining table and opens out to a small yard and sun deck which takes in the fabulous views.
Internal viewing is a joy and we predict much interest to view Seagull Cottage.
