Description
SITUATION & DESCRIPTION
An exciting opportunity to acquire a unique 18th Century four bedroom house located on the edge of the River Avon with its own bit of foreshore, substantial garden, woodland and plot extending to approximately 3.7 acres. Aveton Gifford is a small waterside village that benefits from a pub, a community village shop/post office, a primary school, a pre-school and a selection of parish organisations. The coast, and beaches are just few miles away at Bigbury on Sea.
The ground floor of Waterfoot comprises entrance hall with ample space for shoes and coats, there is an open plan kitchen/dining room with log burner and dual aspect windows providing an abundance of natural light and framing the outstanding views over the River Avon and local countryside. The cosy living room has an open fireplace, slate hearth and a door leading to the beautiful rear garden. Also on the ground floor is a spacious double bedroom that once again benefits from the outstanding views down the river, this room has slate flooring. A modern shower room is located directly opposite with a separate WC.
The first floor has been well thought out and is accessed via two separate staircases. This floor enjoys three spacious double bedrooms all with Velux windows providing an abundance of natural light. The master bedroom is generous in size with a further window at the end of the property offering views right down the River Avon. There is a Jack-and-Jill bathroom comprising bath, separate shower cubicle, pedestal hand basin and WC. Also on this floor is day room with a Velux window and further window overlooking the garden with the woodland area beyond. This offers brilliant space for a further reception room, office or playroom.
The garden has many aspects and wonderful views. To the side and top of the property is a woodland area where you can enjoy your own picnic area and woodland walks right on your own land. Below these are areas where you can sit and watch the wildlife on the river, countryside and garden. Nearer to the cottage are mixed shrub and flower borders, a vegetable plot, soft fruit cage, a small orchard, pond, herbs and more.
Waterfoot also benefits from owning a section of the foreshore with its own jetty providing direct access to the estuary. An additional section of land opposite which is currently used to store canoes, has four large wooden sheds and offers additional parking opportunities.
