Property code: BX026

Marine House in prime south-facing position with exceptional harbour views from a large balcony and spacious living rooms.

This property is situated close to the town centre of Brixham, which lies on the western side of the bay of Torbay, across from Torquay and just a few miles around the coast from Paignton. Brixham itself makes a lovely place for a break, with its choice of beaches, lively harbour, and range of shops and restaurants. Why not catch the ferry across to Torquay and enjoy a day strolling the seafront, sampling the bistros.

This fantastic property surely boasts some of the best views in Brixham, which can be enjoyed from all of the main living accommodation. On entering the property, guests will first find the hallway which opens onto the kitchen/diner with its wide Juliet balcony allowing guests to enjoy the spectacular views and sea breeze from the dining table. The kitchen area itself offers an oven, hob, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, and washing machine. The bathroom on this floor has a sanctuary-like feel and offers a shower-over-bath and WC. Wooden stairs lead to the lower-ground floor where the bedrooms are located: a spacious king-size room with Juliet balcony looking over the harbour, and a compact twin room with a Juliet balcony overlooking the harbour. Taking the stairs back up, past the ground floor, guests will find the lounge on the first-floor. Arguably the most impressive room in the house, this light and airy space is dominated by the huge floor to ceiling windows which open out onto the spacious balcony from where guests can sit back, relax, and enjoy watching the boats below, a particularly enchanting view at night. Stepping back inside this L-shaped room, there is a second dining area positioned close to the window, whilst in the lounge area there are two inviting sofas, attractive feature fireplace, a TV home cinema system, and DVD. There is also a convenient cloakroom with WC on this top floor of the property, which is located just off the landing at the top of the stairs.

The large balcony off the first-floor lounge is the main outside space, but guests will definitely not feel that they are missing out on having a garden, thanks to the balcony’s fantastic position. A table and chairs have been provided, making it the perfect spot for romantic meals, or drinks as the sun goes down. There is one private, allocated parking space for guests’ use which is located up to a ten minute walk from the house.

  • Two bedrooms:
  • 1 king-size bed
  • 1 twin(3ft bed and a 2ft 6in bed)
  • Bathroom with shower-over-bath and WC, plus cloakroom with WC
  • 55 inch Smart TV.+ DVD in the main lounge
  • TV in the dining area
  • Electric oven, gas hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer.
  • Top Gallant includes very rare designated parking on a private driveway, which is very much worth the walk of between 5 and 15 minutes- dependent on how directly you go and how quickly you walk. Alternatively, you can choose a slightly shorter walk to free parking in the roads surrounding the property
  • Seafront, pub, and shops all within walking distance
  • Like many Brixham harbour properties, the wooden staircase is original so turns with some restricted head height and may not be suitable for anyone who suffers from significant mobility issues
  • Brixham is busy fishing village situated on a very steep hill, so access to some parts of the village can be challenging.
  • Many of the amenities and cottages in Brixham are accessed via steps some of which can be steep. Please contact us if you have specific requirements.
  • There are many small winding streets that are not suitable for cars.
  • The owners regret that no form of 'Welcome Pack' can be provided as they do not live in Devon and as the cleaners are unable to do so
  • This property will be decorated for Christmas
  • Arrival: 15:00 onwards
  • Departure: before 10:00, unless otherwise stated in your arrival details
  • Sorry, no dogs allowed

Another stay at Top Gallant. As before a well equipped and comfortable cottage with all that you need to enjoy your stay, including a parking space, albeit on the other side of the harbour. And of course, the view, which is the icing on the cake and never fails to deliver. Sadly our final stay at Top Gallant for no other reason than the stairs, whiRead morech proved more than a challenge this time. Hide

Fantastic location. Well equipped apartment. Parking a definite bonus. The balcony is great for people watching and enjoying the weather. Easy walk to harbour where you will find plenty of places to eat. We will definitely be returning.

Lovely cottage, great balcony, every amenity is provided. As mentioned in the description, the wooden circular staircase from the kitchen/dining room to the lounge and balcony is for the able bodied. It is an art however, carrying 2 cups of tea up and down from the kitchen to the balcony to the enjoy the morning sun. We were sat there at 7.20am mosRead moret mornings enjoying the sun and harbour views as Brixham wakes up. Hide

Fabulous views and located close to the town Centre. As mentioned by other guests, the stairs are narrow and very curved but manageable with care. Plenty of space in the dining room and living room. Good facilities but plumbing needs some attention.

If a view of Brixham Harbour Bowl is top of your list then Top Gallant delivers in abundance. A lovely three storey cottage overlooking the harbour with outside space to take in the spectacular vista and watch the bustle of the port day and night.
