Development Site with Planning for Conversion to 2 x 3 Bed, Residential Dwellings.
Situated on Bolton Street, this property benefits from an accessible and central location just moments from the harbour, marina, and town centre.

A blend of national retailers, artisan shops, cafes, and restaurants create a vibrant high street environment.Brixham is a vibrant and historic harbour town located on the stunning South Devon coast, forming part of the renowned English Riviera alongside Torquay and Paignton. A long-established fishing port, Brixham continues to thrive both economically and culturally, combining traditional maritime charm with a strong sense of community and a growing reputation as a lifestyle destination. Its picturesque harbour, colourful cottages, independent shops, art galleries and acclaimed seafood restaurants attract a large tourist influx throughout the year.The town connects easily via the A3022 to Paignton and Torquay, and further on to the South Devon Expressway (A380), linking to Exeter and the M5. Regular local buses run between Brixham and neighbouring towns. Paignton railway station—just 5 miles away—offers mainline services to Exeter, Plymouth, and beyond. This strong mix of accessibility, year-round footfall and lifestyle desirability makes Brixham not only a sought-after place to live and visit but also an increasingly compelling location for property investors and developers alike.

Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
