Brixham, Devon

Brixham has established itself as a popular & increasingly prestigious resort town – highly regarded by visitors and residents alike.

‘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.
