Fore Street, Aveton Gifford

The Property:

A covered entrance porch with stable door opens into the cosy sitting room, where an exposed character fireplace and a fully functioning wood-burning stove create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The room benefits from wooden flooring throughout, while additional insulation installed as part of an energy efficiency grant helps improve comfort and energy performance. 

The kitchen retains the cottage's rustic charm and is fitted with a sink set into attractive slate worktops. There is space and plumbing for a washing machine, space for a small fridge freezer, an electric hob and a useful understairs larder cupboard. Whilst there is currently no oven installed, there is space available for one to be fitted if desired.

Stairs rise to the first floor landing, where a door provides access to the rear garden. The bathroom is fitted with a white suite comprising a bath with shower over, wash hand basin and WC, together with a window providing natural light and ventilation.

There are two bedrooms, including a generous principal double bedroom with deep built-in wardrobes and a pleasant outlook to the front. The second bedroom is a spacious single room, capable of accommodating a small double bed if required.

Outside, the garden is a particular feature of the property. Accessed via a private pathway, it enjoys an elevated position backing onto open fields and offers a wonderful space to relax and enjoy the surrounding countryside. Laid predominantly to lawn with patio seating areas, the garden also benefits from a mature apple tree, useful storage shed and attractive views towards the river and surrounding landscape.

The property further benefits from electric storage heating and substantial additional insulation throughout, including enhanced wall insulation and a heavily insulated loft space with a boarded storage area. Solar panels have also been fitted to both the front and rear roof elevations.

Offered to the market with no onward chain, this wonderfully quirky and slightly wonky cottage is packed with character and provides a rare opportunity to purchase a charming home in a picturesque setting.

The Location:

Aveton Gifford lies in the South Hams area of South Devon, situated about 3 miles inland from the coast at the head of the tidal Avon estuary, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The area is popular for walkers enjoying the 14 miles of parish footpaths through unspoilt countryside and the tidal estuary, and also attracts bird watchers, photographers and artists. Kayakers and SUP enthusiasts enjoy the river, and the nearest beaches at Bantham and Bigbury are at the mouth of the river, both well known for surfing and water sports. The village is on the main bus route and is ideally situated between the towns of Kingsbridge and Modbury.
