Property code: OC-SDBOLT

Swish and stylish, this delectable first-floor apartment is an ideal destination for couples or a family to enjoy the charming coastal resort of Brixham and its surroundings. The town’s shops and range of places to eat are all on your doorstep, and you can choose from several beaches or try the saltwater lido, which is open between May to September. Look out for bottlenose dolphins, harbour porpoises, grey seals and basking sharks near the beaches, in the harbours and off the headlands, and enjoy the 1.5-mile stroll to Berry Head National Nature Reserve for its jaw-dropping views, Napoleonic forts, fabulous wildlife and welcoming café. If you feel like heading further afield, Dartmouth (5 miles), Paignton (5.5 miles), and Torquay (8.5 miles) are all well worth a day trip.

Modern comforts meet traditional Victorian features in this appealing property. It is accessed via a shared passageway to the rear of the building and then up a spiral staircase to a shared entrance door. A short flight of stairs then takes you to your own front door, and once inside it is all on one level. The handsome lounge/diner, with its original sash windows, sparkling chandelier and ornamental period fireplace, has a light and airy feeling and is furnished with a pair of comfortable sofas and a dining table and mid-century modern chairs. The glossy kitchen boasts integrated appliances and extensive cupboards and worktop space, as well as a further dining table. Both of the good-looking bedrooms offer plenty of storage, and share a sleek and contemporary bathroom.

Whilst there is no dedicated outside space, you’re less than half a mile from the beach to enjoy a stroll or a picnic.

Entrance to the property (roadside) needs to look more appealing. Notes need updating on how to access they refer to a black gate its grey, and better photos would be clearer on how to arrive. Road noise high and volume of passing people at night roadside (better windows needed) Alarm panel beeps for unknown reasons in hallway of flat, and takes aRead more long time to stop multiple times of day.

The apartment is really lovely and so well equipped. Perfect for our family of 4. Location for walking into brixham is great. Only downside was the traffic noise in the front bedroom which I know is unavoidable but my hope of being able to lay in bed a bit longer in the morning wasnt achieved! It should perhaps be made a bit clearer that the long Read morestay parking is a 20 minute walk from the door and you cant park outside to unload as the door is pretty much at the crossing and its double yellows. Other than that we had a fabulous little holiday. Thank you Hide
