Perched in the working harbour town of Brixham, Devon, is this fantastic, reverse-level house, Ingledene. Enjoying a quiet elevated position just moment’s away from the harbour and boasting fabulous sea views, Ingledene is a wonderful choice for a group or family of six. This house will suit those looking for a tranquil getaway, enjoying sitting out on the first floor balcony with harbour and sea views or relaxing in the rear garden, listening to the sounds of the birds, this property is definitely not the right place for party goers, loud music or revellers as it is in a residential area. The house has been decorated to reflect the owner's take on a ‘Hygge coastal retreat’, with stylish decor, local artwork and photography, and quality furnishings all creating a serene environment for combined rest and relaxation. Upon arrival, you will discover two sought-after, off-road parking spaces, before climbing the stairs up to your new abode. On the ground-floor, you will find three beautifully-presented bedrooms, a Super-king (or twin on request) and a double, both with patio doors leading out to the gravelled front terrace, and a delightful triple bunk with patio doors opening onto the garden patio. The bedrooms are served by a well-appointed bathroom, perfect for freshening up after an adventure filled day. Completing the ground floor is a striking kitchen/diner, where you can whip up delicious dishes, ready to savour at the dining table for six, or alfresco out in the rear garden as you enjoy the last of the evening sun. The kitchen can be fully opened up to the garden via a set of patio doors and a bi-fold door. A smart TV ensures that you can catchup with the news or your favourite series over breakfast or whilst cooking, and why not use the smart speaker to set the ambience and stream your favourite tunes. Follow the stairs up to the first floor, where you will find a stylish and large toilet/shower room, and an impressive sitting area, featuring a full apex window, a good sized balcony with table and 2 chairs, and impressive views out over the town and out to sea. The lounge has sumptuous seating, foot stools and a Smart TV with SONOS system, a haven to return to after a day of exploring. The garden has been styled with various seating options suitable for your first cup of coffee in the morning, reclining in the sun or enjoying a glass of wine in the evening, and here you’ll also find a BBQ and a small garden house suitable for storing bikes etc. Wander through the town, where you can stock up on essentials at the convenience store, tuck-in to fresh seafood with a view at Rockfish, delve into history at the Brixham Heritage Museum, enjoy a leisurely stroll along Brixham Harbour which is speckled with seafood restaurants, shops, welcoming pubs, and a market where you can purchase freshly caught fish for your supper, or embark on a dolphin watching trip. Breakwater beach is a mere 400 meters walk, allowing for easy access to early morning swims followed by lovely coffee at the Breakwater beach cafe! Berry Head Nature Reserve is nearby, where you will find a Visitor centre, a Napoleonic Fort, incredible views and the award winning gastro cafe, The Guardhouse, serving super tasty, homemade food and drinks, and from here you can get onto the South West Coast path. St Mary’s Bay is a short distance from the house, where you will find a lovely unspoilt beach, a great place for a swim or sun bathe. Going in the opposite direction towards Paington, you can walk to Fishcombe Cove, where you will find the WWII heritage centre, various defence buildings and another great cafe overlooking the beach. With so much in walking distance, you will seldom need to drive anywhere! Should you desire to explore further afield, continue to Dartmouth, where you can explore the historic sites of Dartmouth Castle, Dartmouth Museum and Bayard’s Cove Fort, dine at one of three Michelin Star restaurants, or catch a ferry over to Kingswear, home to its own impressive castle. The stunning National Trust Coleton Fishacre is a short drive or park up and take the Dartmouth Steam Railway up the Dart river onwards towards Paignton. Paignton has popular attractions including Paignton Environmental Zoo, spend a day at the beach, or enjoy the entertainment on offer along the pier. Other places recommended to visit are Totnes, Dittisham and Dartmoor to name but a few. Adventure awaits at Ingledene.
Brixham, on the southern side of Torbay, is a working fishing harbour known for its year-round mild temperatures and sunny skies. A full-size replica of Sir Francis Drake's ship, the Golden Hind, dominates the harbour. Small cottages dot the hilly, narrow, winding lanes of Brixham's most picturesque neighbourhood, all of which lead down to the harbour, the heart of the town. The largest British fishing fleet, which regularly unloads its catch in Brixham Harbor, supplies the fish market, which in turn supplies some of the country's finest restaurants. With two Blue Flag beaches, Paignton Zoo, and numerous regattas and maritime events happening all year round, Brixham is the perfect destination for a classic vacation. A number of well-maintained bike paths, the South West Coastal Path, and some of the region's finest golf courses are all within easy reach. Excellent options for both unwinding and getting active, with the beach always close by.

The upstairs lounge and balcony were great for relaxing after a day exploring. The bathroom is one of the best I have experienced in a holiday property. Parking space a bonus. Plenty of great places to visit. I would certainly recommend and return to this property.
