Description

SITUATION & DESCRIPTION

An 18th Century four bedroom detached cottage lying on the bank of the River Avon with 3.5 acres of garden and woodland, direct water access and land with development potential for a home office or additional accommodation (STP). Aveton Gifford is a small waterside village that benefits from a range of amenities including a village pub, shop and primary school. The location offers the idyllic Devon lifestyle with easy access onto the river Avon for paddle-boarding or kayaking on the river or enjoying long walks along the intertwining countryside footpaths. 
 
On the ground floor, the accommodation 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 views over the River Avon and local countryside. The cosy living room has an open fireplace, slate hearth and a door leading to the 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 window at the gable end offering views down the River Avon. There is a Jack-and-Jill bathroom comprising bath, separate shower cubicle, pedestal hand basin and WC. There is the day room with a Velux window and further window overlooking the garden with the woodland area beyond. This versatile room offers great 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 land providing direct access to the estuary. An additional section of land opposite the house is currently used to store canoes and has four large wooden sheds whilst providing additional parking opportunities. The land also has the opportunity to be used for development including a home office subject to planning.
