Brixham Manor House

A majestic, towering Edwardian house on the sea-front overlooking Brixham harbour, Brixham Manor House is a stunning holiday-home with a games room, private indoor pool and gym for up to 16 incredibly lucky guests.

Tucked at the end of a private road, overlooking beautifully manicured, landscaped gardens, this exquisite country home will give you the welcome of dreams, with an awe-inspiring staircase, a grandfather clock and even a stained-glass window in the grand entrance hall! Step through to the magnificent drawing room and admire the panoramic views over Brixham Breakwater, in this charming, oak-panelled setting. Settle yourself by the roaring fire, in the original stone hearth, for a relaxing afternoon with breath-taking views.

When it’s time to dine in your magnificent formal dining area looking out over the harbour, you’ll have a blast enjoying this wonderful kitchen, with a separate preparation area should you wish to hire caterers for putting on a feast for friends and family. The lower-ground floor is the home of fun, with its full-size snooker room, table tennis, fully-equipped gym and indoor heated pool, and even a playroom for the youngsters.

There are eight bedrooms in total, all enjoying sublime sea-views, with six doubles and two twin rooms, accommodating large groups of all shapes. Each room is divine, with marvellous furniture ranging from French beds, ornate marble mantelpieces and an Edwardian style bathtub. Seven can be found on the first floor, while there’s also one double-room on the ‘fun floor’ for those who just can’t leave the action (there’s always one!)

Your private garden is a vast expanse in which to soak up the sunshine, revel in the gentle sea-breeze and admire these breathtaking sea-views. With a sleek and stylish covered brick BBQ area, you can whip up quite the alfresco delight for the whole group with ease, and dine in the sunshine, or even under the stars, on your wonderful terrace. With a large lawn for the children to frolic to their heart’s content, this is the perfect holiday-home for a large family. There’s plenty of private parking, of course, so do bring a car to get out and about in the local area.

Brixham Marina is just a stone’s throw away, and it’s less than a mile to Berry Head National Nature Reserve where you can enjoy a scenic stroll amid fabulous nature. In Brixham itself you’ll find an impressive fish market alongside shops and tearooms, while Torquay and the picturesque town of Paignton are just a short drive away.
