Roll the Old Chariot

Roll the Old Chariot: Devon

Perfectly positioned overlooking the sparkling waters of pastel-painted Brixham, this beautiful family home offers your family a gorgeous coastal retreat on the English Riviera. The light and airy interior takes its inspiration from the home's stunning seaside setting, with grey and blue hues, beautifully intertwined driftwood lamps and even a cute beach hut in the children's room. Arranged over two floors, the property's three bedrooms are located on the lower floor and have calming neutral decor, comfortable mattresses and bird's eye harbour views from the two adult rooms. The standout space is the open-plan upper floor with its bespoke kitchen, sociable dining area and inviting living space – it's an ideal spot to spend time together as a family. Huge sliding doors lead onto a furnished balcony with stunning views to accompany your morning coffee or evening sundowner session. The town tumbles down the hillside towards the horseshoe-shaped bay, where you'll find a variety of wonderful brunch spots and restaurants – many of them serving the catch of the day – within a ten-minute walk. Local standouts include The Curious Kitchen, Rockfish and Albero. You're within a fifteen-minute drive from some of Torbay's finest beaches. However, our personal choice would be to escape the crowds and walk twenty minutes to the secluded shingle beach at Fishcombe Cove – it's a local favourite for a reason.

Home truths:
* The third bedroom contains a bunk bed and is set up for children
* We'd recommend a vehicle to fully explore the area
* Parking for one vehicle is provided in the Breakwater car park (about 500 yards from the property) – this is on a first-come, first-served basis
* On-street parking is scarce, especially during the summer months
* There is long stay car parking at Oxen Cove which is a fifeen-minute walk from the property
