6 bed detached house for sale

Heath Road, Brixham TQ5

Rare harbour-side landmark with panoramic views over the inner harbour & marina. Substantial detached home with six bedrooms, off-road parking, large garage + workshop and good-sized garden. First time on the market since 1976 — ready for full modernisation to create your dream coastal home.

Rock Hill House circa 1907, presents a rare and exciting opportunity to purchase a true Edwardian Brixham landmark. Perched just above the main harbour, the property enjoys uninterrupted panoramic views across the Brixham harbour bowl, including the bustling inner harbour, the famous fish market, the marina, and out across the English Channel beyond. This exceptional home is offered for sale for the first time since 1976, making it a once-in-a-generation chance to acquire one of the most sought-after harbour-side residences in the town.

This distinctive property combines all the features that are so hard to find in Brixham’s historic harbour area: Off-road parking, a large garage, large workshop/shed, and a good-sized garden — all within a generously proportioned detached home. The harbour’s unique topography and heritage status mean such attributes are rarely available together, adding to the exclusivity of this sale. The setting is as practical as it is picturesque, providing both privacy and convenience just a short stroll from the waterfront.

Situated in one of the country’s prettiest and most vibrant fishing ports, Rock Hill House offers an enviable lifestyle for those seeking a family home by the sea. The spacious layout and unrivalled outlook would suit buyers who wish to embrace the charm of coastal living while still enjoying the benefits of modern amenities within easy reach. The property’s elevated position provides spectacular ever-changing views, from colourful fishing boats to sweeping seascapes.

The accommodation is both substantial and versatile, currently arranged with six bedrooms, three well-proportioned reception rooms, and a kitchen/breakfast room. There is a downstairs bathroom with an adjacent shower room and laundry area, a family bathroom on the first floor, and a further bathroom on the top floor — ideal for accommodating larger families or visiting guests. Each level offers scope to reconfigure the layout to suit individual needs.

While the property has been well-loved by the same family for decades, it is now in need of full modernisation. This offers incoming owners a blank canvas on which to create their dream home, with the potential to blend contemporary style and comfort with the building’s inherent character. The generous proportions and solid construction provide an excellent foundation for sympathetic refurbishment or imaginative redesign.

Opportunities of this calibre are increasingly rare in Brixham, particularly in such a prime harbour-side location with parking, a garage, gardens, and expansive views. Whether you are seeking a full-time residence, a coastal retreat, or an investment with strong long-term appeal, Rock Hill House is a property that demands attention. Early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate its unique position and outstanding potential.
