A secret gem with terraced garden and stunning harbour views

A secret gem! High Hopes is a Grade II listed sailors loft on one of the oldest streets in Brixham with a unique outdoor space and stunning harbour views.

As you open the gate set into the old stone wall of one of the most characterful streets in Brixham, you step through into what feels like a secret garden and are immediately captivated by the outstanding views from the unique outdoor space.

This wonderfully positioned cottage places you in the heart of the town with views of the inner harbour that stretch right round to the Breakwater and the colour washed cottages beyond. Stone steps lead you down to the entrance of this 2 bed property which is arranged over two levels.

The bay window of the open plan lounge and kitchen/diner draws you in with waterside views of the Golden Hind so close you can almost reach out and touch the boats. You will feel like you have your own box at the theatre as you look out and enjoy the sounds of Brixham Town Band playing under the Old Fish Market in summer evenings, smell the gunpowder as the pirates re-enact a skirmish on board the Golden Hind during the annual Pirate Festival and stay warm whilst watching the beautiful fireworks and Brixham's Harbour of Lights being turned on for Lantern, Lights & 'Luminations.

When the fresh sea air and morning sun beckons, watch the goings on in 'Fishtown' from the terraced garden which enjoys a feeling of seclusion. Brixham’s harbour and town centre is within very short walking distance and you will find the heritage site of Berry Head National Nature Reserve via the South West Coast Path, and ferry boats that take passengers the short journey across the bay to Torquay throughout the year. So park up the car and explore. For cosy days in you will find an HD TV complete with Freeview, BBC iPlayer and Netflix to keep all generations happy. There’s even a collection of books, games and jigsaws for those evenings that are about unwinding.

After a day exploring the local delights and filling your lungs full of fresh sea air, the open plan lounge and kitchen/diner provides a great social space whether travelling as a family or with friends.
Make yourself comfortable in this vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. A Smart television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a microwave and a washing machine.

Great location but beware the stairs!

We really enjoyed our stay - the location is great & the property well presented. The steps leading to the property are very steep and narrow, not the easiest to navigate, particularly when wet (and if you're elderly). The description of the property does allude to problems for people with mobility issues but it's not a particularly prominent message - it would have been helpful if there had been greater emphasis on this. The instructions for handling rubbish are also a bit confusing with the on-line instructions contradicting the printed instructions in the property. So, two small issues to consider - everything else was lovely!

Access was very difficult due to very steep stairs to the property

3 elderly people with various infirmaries found access to and from this apartment a nightmare.
