Description
Panoramic Harbour Views with Significant Development & Investment Potential
Occupying an unusually large corner plot on the seaward side of Garlic Rea, this three-bedroom end-of-terrace property presents a rare coastal opportunity for builders, developers and land-led investors. With commanding harbour and sea views, extensive gated parking, and a substantial detached garage, the property offers multiple avenues for enhancement, reconfiguration or future development (subject to planning).
The existing dwelling is well proportioned and positioned to maximise elevated outlooks, with sweeping views across Brixham Harbour, the town and out across Torbay. Internally, the accommodation spans three floors, culminating in a triple-aspect top-floor master suite with private balcony – an arrangement ideally suited to further value-adding works such as re-modelling, re-configuring or upgrading to a high-end coastal specification.
Of particular note is the exceptionally large, gated parking area accessed directly from Great Rea Road. Fully block-paved and capable of accommodating multiple vehicles, boats or motorhomes, this area represents a significant land asset in its own right. Its size, access and separation from the main house suggest potential for alternative use, additional structure or separate development, subject to the necessary consents. In a location where off-road parking is scarce, this alone offers strong resale or rental value.
The detached double garage further enhances the site’s flexibility, lending itself to conversion, redevelopment or ancillary accommodation (again subject to planning). Combined with the surrounding courtyard, side garden and raised terrace areas, the plot provides scope for re-landscaping, extension or creative redevelopment while preserving the all-important sea views.
While the property has been maintained, it is clearly ripe for modernisation, allowing a developer to unlock substantial upside through refurbishment, re-design or repositioning within the local market. With gas central heating, UPVC double glazing and no onward chain, the property offers a straightforward acquisition with immediate potential.
Properties offering this level of view, access, parking land and development flexibility in central Brixham are exceptionally rare. This is a compelling proposition for those seeking a coastal project with genuine land value and long-term upside.
The property is arranged over three floors, offering a highly adaptable internal layout that lends itself well to reconfiguration or upgrading. The ground floor currently comprises an entrance porch leading into a characterful lounge with exposed beams and a feature stone wall, flowing through to a dual-aspect dining area and on into a generously sized kitchen. This level also incorporates a large family bathroom, additional storage and direct rear access, providing a strong footprint for potential open-plan reworking or modernisation.
The first floor provides two bedrooms and a second bathroom. The principal room on this level sits to the front of the property and benefits from elevated harbour and Torbay views via a box-bay window, making it well suited for conversion into a premium bedroom or home office. The rear bedroom enjoys access onto a raised sun terrace, presenting scope to enhance the indoor–outdoor connection or reposition the space as a guest suite or study. The family bathroom features a corner bath and full white suite.
Occupying the entire second floor is a standout master suite, enjoying a rare triple aspect and direct access onto a private balcony. From here, the views extend uninterrupted across Brixham, the inner harbour and out to sea — a key value driver that could be further capitalised on through re-design or high-end finishes. A separate WC on this level reinforces the potential for a self-contained principal suite, ideal for a luxury reconfiguration or premium resale positioning.

Comments
This property is offered for sale via Online Auction which is a flexible and buyer friendly method of purchase. The purchaser will not be exchanging contracts on the fall of the virtual hammer, but will be given 56 working days in which to exchange and complete the transaction from the date the Draft Contract is issued by the sellers solicitor.
By giving a buyer time to exchange contracts on the property, normal residential finance can be arranged. The Buyer’s Premium secures the transaction and takes the property off the market. Fees paid to the Auctioneer reserve the property to the buyer during the Reservation Period and are paid in addition to the purchase price and are considered within calculations for Stamp Duty Land Tax. Further clarification on this must be sought from your legal representative.
The buyer will be required to give the Auctioneer authority to sign the Reservation Form on their behalf and to confirm acceptance of the Terms and Conditions prior to solicitors being instructed. Copies of the Reservation Form and all Terms and Conditions can be found in the Information Pack which can be downloaded from our website or requested from our Auctioneer.
Upon close of a successful auction, or if the vendor accepts an offer during the auction, the buyer will be required to make payment of a non-refundable Buyer's Premium of £6,600 including VAT, plus a buyer's administration charge of £396 including VAT, a total of £6,996. This secures the transaction and takes the property off the market. Any additional fees and charges over and above this will be confirmed within the terms and conditions available on the website.
The Buyer's Premium and buyer's administration charge are in addition to the final negotiated selling price.
All buyers will be required to verify their identity and provide proof of how the purchase will be funded.
Buyer's Administration Charge
If the Buyer Information Pack has been produced and provided by GOTO Group any successful purchaser will be required to pay £396 (including VAT) towards the cost of the preparation of the pack. These can then be used by your solicitor to progress the sale.
Buyer Fees

- Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is applicable if you buy a property or land over a certain price in England, Wales or Northern Ireland. Please click here for more information.
Energy Performance Certificate (EPCs)
An EPC is broadly like the labels provided with domestic appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines. Its purpose is to record how energy efficient a property is as a building. The certificate will provide a rating of the energy efficiency and carbon emissions of a building from A to G, where A is very efficient, and G is inefficient. The data required to allow the calculation of an EPC includes the age and construction of the building, its insulation and heating method. EPCs are produced using standard methods with standard assumptions about energy usage so that the energy efficiency of one building can easily be compared with another building of the same type. The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) requires that all buildings have an EPC when they are marketed for sale or for let, or when houses are newly built. EPCs are valid for 10 years, or until a newer EPC is prepared. During this period the EPC may be made available to buyers or new tenants.

By setting a proxy bid, the system will automatically bid on your behalf to maintain your position as the highest bidder, up to your proxy bid amount. If you are outbid, you will be notified via email so you can opt to increase your bid if you so choose.
If two of more users place identical bids, the bid that was placed first takes precedence, and this includes proxy bids.
Another bidder placed an automatic proxy bid greater or equal to the bid you have just placed. You will need to bid again to stand a chance of winning.
