Cottage for sale in Aveton Gifford, Kingsbridge TQ7

Description

Situated in an elevated position on the outskirts of the coastal village of Bigbury and nearby Aveton Gifford, Shoal Of Furze is a unique Grade II Listed property that has been thoughtfully extended in collaboration with renowned local architect Michael Stopher.

The original cottage has been sympathetically improved with white-washed walls, Cob in part, retaining much of the character including exposed beams, plank doors and a beautiful spiral staircase. In contrast, the outstanding modern extension has been finished to the highest of standards with uninterrupted south-facing views over the surrounding countryside down the valley towards Bantham. Bathed in natural light, the kitchen and living room/dining room features triple aspect windows/doors with access to the large deck and private, established garden. The kitchen is of a high specification including appliances from Neff, Liebherr and Miele, flowing through to the generous dining area with sliding doors offering indoor/outdoor living with ease. The cosy living room located in the original building is a wonderful space with dual aspect windows and log burner. There is an adaptable room on this floor, which offers a great study. The stylish shower room has been finished with the high quality fittings of Duravit and Geberit and enjoys a skylight with views towards the thatch roof. The two bedrooms will be found on the first floor with outstanding countryside views and character features.

Outside, a large elevated decking is accessed from the dining room offering the perfect spot for al fresco dining whilst enjoying the far-reaching views. The good-sized level lawn is private and secluded with a range of seating areas, fully enclosed by mature hedges, being the perfect place to relax in the sun. The sloping bank to the rear of the garden offers a range of mature flowers and shrubs, as well as a further seating area where more extensive views of the South Hams rolling hills can be enjoyed. Shoal Of Furze has driveway parking for two cars and truly is a unique opportunity to purchase a property with the mix of old and new, within a short drive of nearby beaches.
