Aveton Gifford, Kingsbridge

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.
