Experience authentic coastal charm in this characterful fisherman's cottage

Wren Cottage, Brixham, is a delightful former fisherman's cottage that perfectly captures the essence of this charming harbour town. The well-equipped kitchen seamlessly blends character with functionality, featuring a modern electric oven and gas hob, while proudly displaying an original 1900s oven as a captivating decorative piece. The inviting lounge beckons you to unwind, with comfortable seating arranged around an electric feature fireplace, complemented by a Smart TV and collection of board games for entertaining family evenings.

Step outside to discover a tranquil shared garden space, offering multiple areas for outdoor relaxation. The cottage features two beautifully appointed bedrooms: a family room with a double bed and small single, perfect for younger children, and a characterful master bedroom with a double bed and enchanting window seat overlooking the town and All Saints Church tower. With two well-appointed bathrooms – a family bathroom with shower over bath and an en-suite shower room – this coastal haven ensures comfort for all guests.

Imagine starting your day with fresh coffee in the peaceful courtyard, listening to seagulls wheeling overhead while planning your coastal adventures. As evening falls, gather in the cosy lounge to share stories of your day's explorations, perhaps challenging each other to a board game before retiring to rooms filled with the gentle sea breeze and distant sounds of the harbour.

Wren Cottage, Brixham, sits in an enviable position just 350 metres from the vibrant harbour, where fishing boats bob gently in the water and seafood restaurants serve the catch of the day. The Brixham Heritage Museum (500 metres) offers fascinating insights into local history through its collection of over 10,000 artifacts, while the Golden Hind Museum Ship (900 metres) provides an immersive experience of Elizabethan maritime life aboard this faithful replica of Sir Francis Drake's famous vessel.

For those seeking adventure further afield, Greenway (7 km) invites you to explore Agatha Christie's beloved riverside home and its enchanting gardens, while Splashdown Quaywest (7 km) promises exciting water-based fun for the whole family. For memorable day trips, visit the River Dart Country Park (30 km) with its extensive adventure playgrounds and swimming lake, enjoy a unique experience at Dartmouth Alpaca Woodland Trekking (30 km), or take a nostalgic journey on the South Devon Railway from Buckfastleigh (32 km) through the stunning River Dart valley.

The historic naval town of Dartmouth (8 km) offers a delightful day out with its picturesque streets and riverside walks, while Paignton (9 km) provides traditional seaside entertainment with its pier and sandy beaches.
