Higher Street, Brixham

CHARACTERFUL THREE DOUBLE BEDROOM FISHERMAN’S COTTAGE just moments from Brixham harbour, enjoying exceptional town and harbour views from its spectacular ‘crow’s nest’ roof deck.
Deceptively spacious with a private lawned garden, generous accommodation and authentic Brixham charm. NO ONWARD CHAIN.

Perched above Brixham’s colourful town and harbour, Mainsail Cottage is a deceptively spacious THREE DOUBLE BEDROOM FISHERMAN’S COTTAGE, full of authentic character and unmistakably Brixham charm. Set on the ever-popular Higher Street, the property is just a couple of minutes’ walk downhill to the waterfront, while its elevated position affords exceptional views across the town and iconic inner harbour.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors, with a wonderfully individual layout that makes the most of its elevated setting. The main living accommodation occupies the first floor, positioned to take advantage of the outlook across Brixham, while three genuinely generous double bedrooms are split between the ground and second floors. Throughout the cottage there is a wealth of original charm and character, creating a home that feels entirely at home within this historic part of the town.

Undoubtedly one of Mainsail Cottage’s defining features is the incredible rear roof deck. Sitting high above the surrounding rooftops, it enjoys a commanding ‘crow’s nest’ perspective across Brixham, with a particularly impressive outlook over the inner harbour. It is a fantastic spot for morning coffee, evening drinks or simply watching the boats and activity around the harbour below.

Outside, there is more space than might initially be expected from such a central location. In addition to the roof deck, the cottage enjoys a private lawned garden, flanked by established shrubs and providing a more secluded outdoor space away from the bustle of the waterfront.

Mainsail Cottage has evolved and been adapted over the years and now offers an incoming owner the opportunity for some gentle refreshing to suit their own tastes, while retaining the individuality and character that makes the property so appealing. Recent investment includes a full electrical rewire in 2025, together with remedial attention to the front section of the roof in 2026. Electric heating is provided throughout.

For those searching for something quintessentially Brixham, Mainsail Cottage combines three excellent double bedrooms, generous accommodation, fantastic outside space and memorable harbour views, all within a two-minute walk of the town and waterfront. There is no allocated parking, although street parking and paid permit parking are available nearby.

Offered for sale with NO ONWARD CHAIN.
