About this property

A luxury Edwardian mansion with amazing views of Brixham harbour

Perched above bustling Brixham Harbour, this stunning Edwardian mansion offers a world of luxury, elegance and history for visitors to South Devon. Built in 1910, it’s a fascinating mix of period charm and modern comforts, and an idyllic setting for a family gathering or special occasion with your loved ones. Sleeping 16 people in 8 bedrooms, there’s abundant space for entertaining and socialising, including an indoor swimming pool, sauna, gym, various games and play rooms, and a landscaped garden with outdoor dining and a BBQ.

Spread over three floors, this magnificent property features high ceilings and elegant decor, giving it an air of grandeur. And it’s bursting with entertainment facilities and outstanding features that are perfect for every age group. The main living areas are on the ground floor, accentuated by high ceilings, heavy drapes and superb sea views. Enjoy quality time with your loved ones in the drawing room, which can comfortably seat the entire group, or challenge your travelling companions to a game of snooker in the light and airy games room. With a double range oven, the bright and colourful kitchen is a dream to prepare meals in, and there’s a separate preparation area should you prefer to hire a chef. The formal dining room is the ideal backdrop to celebratory meals, or gather outside to enjoy a BBQ overlooking the harbour. The gorgeous landscaped garden also features sun loungers for lazy summer afternoons. The lower ground floor is an entertainment paradise; here you’ll find the indoor pool, sauna, gym, a second games room and a children’s playroom. One of the double bedrooms is located here, along with private quarters for the housekeeper. The other seven bedrooms – an en-suite king-size, four doubles, a twin and a zip-and-link bedroom – are on the first floor, along with two family bathrooms.

Head down to Breakwater Beach for a morning swim, or enjoy a stroll around the headland to Berry Head Nature Reserve and Lighthouse, watching for seals and seabirds along the way. For a fun-filled family outing, Paignton Zoo (6 miles) is a must.

    A truly special property, the views are simply stunning and the house is beautiful. We all had a fantastic time making memories to last a lifetime. Thanks to the owner and the housekeeping team, we'll never forget our stay.

    The house and location was just beautiful. Steve was very helpful too. Will definitely be back :)

    Amazing property, it has plenty to entertain the whole family. Our group ranged from 3 months to 61 years and each one of us had favourite things about the property; sitting in the window watching the harbour, walking down to the beach, swimming in the pool and the sea, going for a run up to Berry Head. So many things to do we didn't have time to do them all, we'll just have to come back again.
