Full Description
The Penthouse has the most wonderful views right over Brixham harbour.
The Penthouse is a stunning 2 bedroom apartment overlooking Brixham's famous quay, with a full-width wood floor balcony — conveniently accessible via the lounge and master bedroom — making it easy to capitalise upon this premier location and its views of the quay, harbour and marina. Bistro-style seating makes this a great spot for socialising, reading, or dining al fresco. For inside dining, the open plan lounge kitchen diner features a breakfast island and a four-seat dining table. The kitchen is sleek and well-appointed with various appliances including a dishwasher, washing machine and microwave.
The lounge area has a pair of comfortable blue sofas for a calming pop of colour and benefits from various entertainment options with its TV, speaker, and DVD player.
With a double bed and slanting loft ceilings, the master bedroom is separated from the main apartment by a sliding Japanese-style door that offers a unique touch. Its clean, white fully-tiled bathroom has a walk-in shower, wash-basin, W/C, and heated shower rail. The second bedroom is also a double. Across the hallway is the property's family bathroom, also fully tiled, with a bathtub.

The Penthouse sits in an elevated position, accessed by three flights of stairs, a five-minute walk from the harbour. From here you can access the seasonal ferries including trips across to Torquay and the ‘Round Robin' tour across the bay. Also, the Quay provides excellent fresh fish for home cooking or meals out at the acclaimed Rockfish restaurant.
As the parking space is built into the cliffside it only accommodates a small car. An example of this is the Peugeot 206. If you plan to bring a larger car there is the Oxen Cove long-stay for which an eight-day permit is offered that grants access to a large number of Council car parks. Please note that this is not included with your booking.
A short walk takes you to the main Brixham bus stop that can take you to destinations in Torbay and beyond. Along the harbour you can head to the breakwater and its half-mile walk to the lighthouse, or the nearby shingle beach. The beach has a Blue Flag Award — a global standard that commends cleanliness, safety, and environmental considerations.

Located in an elevated position on Overgang, its a 5 minute downhill walk to the harbour below with its many shops, restaurants, cafes and attractions. The Penthouse is located on a hill with steep steps to reach it, although a taxi can drop you outside the door and you have a parking space opposite the entrance. There are 3 and a half flights of stairs to reach the apartment once inside the building. There is no lift. Therefore this property is not suitable for people with mobility issues.
You can park outside the property to unload your luggage. The dedicated parking space is built into the cliff face opposite the building and can accommodate a small hatchback type car only. There are council car parks within a 10 minute walk for guests with larger vehicles, Weekly council parking permits cost approx £45.
