The house sits on a main bus route for ease of access to the local areas. This area, known as Higher Brixham, is a sought after and convenient residential location, benefitting from nearby local amenities such as convenience store, Post office, pubs and takeaways.
Brixham is a thriving and increasingly prestigious resort town, admired by both residents and visitors. The town boasts a lively harbour, home to the UK's most valuable fishing port, as well as a 500-berth marina. A charming promenade runs around the harbour, linking the town centre to the breakwater. Brixham is also known for its mix of independent shops, cafes, restaurants, and pubs. Together with Torquay and Paignton, it forms the Borough of Torbay, with a population of over 120,000, often referred to as The English Riviera.

Dating back to 1636, Hortus House has a rich history. The original farmhouse was destroyed by fire in the 1860s, and the current structure was subsequently built. Traces of the past, including remnants of historic cottages and the former farmyard, can still be found on the property.
