King Street, Brixham TQ5

Brixham has established itself as a popular & increasingly prestigious resort town – highly regarded by visitors and residents alike. The town benefits from a colourful and busy harbour with the country’s most valuable fishing port alongside a 500 berth Marina, and a promenade around the harbour linking the town centre and the breakwater. The town enjoys a variety of independent and multiple retailers and highly reputable cafes, restaurants and pubs. Brixham together with Torquay and Paignton form the Borough of Torbay with an indigenous population of over 120,000 and popularly known as The English Riviera.

‘Ye Olde Coffin House’ is a Grade II listed building, built in 1736. Reputedly unique design came about after a family feud, where a daughter was forbidden to marry a man, her father disapproved of; saying ‘I would rather see my daughter in a coffin than wed to you’! This resulted in the rejected son-in-law building a house in the shape of a coffin. The Father was so impressed he allowed his daughter to marry the gentleman.

The premises now consists of a ground floor retail unit and self-contained 2/3 bedroom town house. The retail unit has planning consent to convert to a residential unit which could either be self-contained or be included into the current town house via an existing staircase leading to the kitchen above.

The current owners trade from the ground floor and on occasion have let the town house via Airbnb. The premises will be sold with vacant possession. The furniture in the town house is available via separate negotiation.
