Property description
An exceptional Georgian Grade II listed three bedroom CHARACTER COTTAGE, with garden, standing at the head of Broad Steps providing easy access to the harbour and the town centre. Higher Street is one of the port‘s prettiest streets with this particular property being at one time part of the former Shot Over Inn, a very popular establishment at the time. The many restaurants and waterfront cafes are just around the corner making this the ideal permanent residence, or holiday home for those who want to be in the heart of Brixham.
This is a most charming home offering a great blend of the building‘s original character and the comforts of modern living with an exceptional decor throughout that radiates consideration and care. The versatile accommodation is arranged over three floors principally offering a sitting room, three bedrooms, breakfast kitchen, shower room and elegant period style bathroom with a claw foot bath. Behind the cottage is a cosy courtyard with steps leading up to a deceptively large garden above with some fine views over the town. There is gas fired central heating.
