Detached house for sale in The Roundings, Galmpton, Brixham TQ5

Pretty as a picture, this gorgeous, three bedroom detached cottage, is one of Galmpton Villages landmark properties, dating back circa 400 years when it was, we understand, originally two cottages with a thatched roof. In more modern times the cottage has been extended at the rear and a had a garage and driveway added. A rare find indeed, a characterful and charming, good size cottage with an unexpectedly large rear garden, driveway and garage in the sought after village of Galmpton which is located midway between the bustling fishing port of Brixham and sea side town of Paignton. Local shops and sub post office are a short walk away along with highly regarded primary and grammar schools.
