A beautifully presented GRADE II LISTED THREE BEDROOM COTTAGE in the heart of the harbour on favoured HIGHER STREET. Characterful, quirky with a contemporary finish. Low maintenance & sunny rear courtyard garden. NO ONWARD CHAIN.

Tucked away on one of Brixham’s most sought-after streets, The Old Bakehouse is a charming Grade II listed cottage that captures the essence of coastal life. Higher Street is renowned for its picturesque pastel-coloured cottages that gently lead down towards the harbour, creating one of the town’s prettiest and most iconic street scenes. From the front door, the harbour and town centre are just a 5-minute stroll away, while the South West Coast Path winds in either direction—towards Berry Head Country Park on one side, and Brixham’s famous coves on the other. Whether it’s crabbing at the harbour’s edge or dining at one of Torbay’s finest pubs or restaurants, there's something nearby for the whole family to enjoy.

The property is deceptively spacious and spread across four floors. It has been lovingly restored by the current owners, who have created a warm and welcoming home-from-home, carefully preserving the unique charm and character these historic cottages are celebrated for.

Entering through the traditional stable door—a much-loved feature of Higher Street—you step into a bright and beautifully presented living room, complete with a feature stone fireplace and wood-burning stove, perfect for cosy evenings in.

The first floor hosts a stylish family bathroom fitted with a modern white three-piece suite and a handy storage cupboard housing the Ideal Logic combi boiler. The modern galley-style kitchen, compact yet functional, provides direct access to the rear courtyard. Also on this level is Bedroom Two—a spacious and light-filled double bedroom with built-in storage and views to the front.

The generous principal bedroom occupies the second floor, with ample space for a super king bed and the added luxury of a contemporary en-suite shower room. At the top of the house, Bedroom Three is full of character and charm. Nestled in the loft with steep cottage-style stairs, it enjoys far-reaching views over Brixham and the harbour.

Outside, the rear courtyard garden is a genuine sun trap—quiet, low-maintenance, and arranged over two gentle levels. With two separate seating areas, it's the perfect spot for summer BBQs or relaxed alfresco dining with friends and family.
