Drew Street, Brixham TQ5

Tucked away in a quiet, private courtyard beside the beautiful St. Marys Church, Angel Cottage is a truly enchanting Grade II listed home rich in history, character and charm. Believed to date back to the time of William of Oranges landing in Brixham in 1688, this beautifully preserved cottage forms part of what was originally a traditional Devon Longhouse, later separated into three unique cottages within this picturesque courtyard.
Approached through a shared gated entrance, (pedestrian access only) the cottage enjoys a delightful sense of seclusion while remaining just a short stroll from local amenities, the town centre, and scenic coastal walks. To the front is a pretty seating area and small garden, perfect for morning coffee or relaxing in this atmospheric historic setting.
A traditional stable door welcomes you inside, opening directly into a wonderfully cosy and inviting open-plan ground floor. This thoughtfully arranged space provides a seamless combination of lounge, dining and kitchen areas, ideal for modern living while retaining the cottages centuries-old ambiance.
The lounge features a stunning exposed stone fireplace complete with log burner, forming the heart of the home and providing warmth and character throughout the cooler months, there are also storage heaters installed. Original exposed beams and deep window seats add to the charm, and the dual window arrangement at the front ensures the room enjoys plenty of natural light. The two window seats, set within the thick stone walls, create lovely spots to relax with a book and take in the courtyard surroundings.
The dining area flows naturally from the lounge, comfortably accommodating a dining table while maintaining the open, social layout. The adjoining fitted kitchen is well arranged and sympathetically designed, offering modern conveniences while blending beautifully with the cottages character. A useful cupboard houses plumbing for a washing machine, neatly tucked away to maximise the living space.
A door leads to the staircase, where a large porthole window at the foot of the stairs, said to originate from the Royal Navys hms Ark Royal, adds a unique historical talking point to the home. Upstairs, the cottage provides two charming double bedrooms, both full of character. Exposed beams, thick walls, and the gentle contours typical of period buildings create warm and restful spaces. The bathroom/W.C, also on this level, completes the accommodation and is presented in keeping with the cottage style.
Throughout, Angel Cottage has been beautifully maintained and presented, offering an atmospheric yet comfortable home that blends historic features with practical living. Whether used as a full-time residence, a coastal retreat, or a special character home, this unique property is sure to appeal to those seeking something truly distinctive.
