Detached house for sale in New Road, Brixham TQ5

A rare combination of two beautiful period properties, ideal for multi family living, offering huge flexibility for a family residence, or home and income opportunity.

Coombe Bank Lodge is a 3-4 bedroom/ 2 reception house and is currently loosely split into two separate living accommodations, this could easily be reverted if required. Robins Cottage is a deceptively spacious 2 bedroom cottage. The properties are linked by a very pretty, good size courtyard.

Coombe Bank Lodge we are informed, dates back to the 1860's and the cottage is believed to be circa 150 years old. The current owner has made many improvements in recent years and the properties now make comfortable and charming homes, with many extras that are too extensive to list so internal viewing is highly recommended.

The properties are set well back from New Road, approached via a shared private driveway and offers ample parking and unexpected enclosed large, private rear garden with super composite garden studio, ideal for home office or hobby room.

Brixham town center with its bustling Harbour and pretty marina are approximately half a mile level walk away. A regular bus service also runs along New Road into the the town and Paignton.
