About this property

A bright and modern detached residence with plenty of space for a large family group, this detached house lies at the entrance of a quiet cul-de-sac in the unspoiled village of Aveton Gifford in South Devon, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. A real home from home offering copious space and all the mod cons to make a holiday with the family totally relaxing. A wood floor hallway welcomes you into a comfortable sitting room, a place to relax and unwind or enjoy your favourite TV program. A lovely open plan kitchen area, recently remodeled, offers space for the whole family to gather whilst the cook prepares meals in the sleek modern kitchen. Double patio doors lead out onto the rear patio and garden. There is a useful breakfast bar and dining table for family meal times, and also comfortable seating for those wishing to relax and catch up with their favourite TV shows on the wall mounted widescreen TV. Four individual and beautifully appointed bedrooms can be found on the first floor, two with en-suite shower rooms and a family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms and completes the interior. The sunny enclosed garden provides a sheltered spot to soak up the sunshine on sun loungers, or enjoy family barbecues on the patio to the side. Just a few minutes' stroll to the heart of the village where you will find a children's play park, village store and pub. A little further a walk along the estuary and you will find the popular Oyster Shack restaurant, serving the best locally caught seafood. The soft sands of Bigbury-on-Sea are just 5 miles away, its soft sands and rock pools perfect for families with children, where you can enjoy a trip across to the famous Burgh Island by sea tractor. A little further along the coasts is the busy sailing town of Salcombe and market town of Kingsbridge. For golfing enthusiasts Bigbury and Thurlestone have challenging courses with unbeatable views from most of the greens. Positioned to the side of the River Avon estuary, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this region will appeal to all ages and interests. With so much to do in the area, this well-proportioned property has all the necessary ingredients for a stress-free, unforgettable family holiday in South Devon.

Bigbury-on-Sea is located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is ideal for family holidays. Dusted with sand and lapped by shallow waters, the beach offers safe fun for groups particularly if you've got children in tow. In addition, Bigbury-on-Sea beach is dotted with rock pools, so there’s plenty of entertainment for budding marine biologists. There’s also a wide and varied selection of watersports available to visitors who prefer their holidays to feature a little adrenaline rush. Windsurfing and kite-surfing are popular here, with hire facilities located right on the beach. To give you some peace of mind, there are lifeguards present at Bigbury-on-Sea beach during May to September and the beach also has a first-aid room. You can even take the dog onto the beach, although they are restricted to certain areas during the summer. Bigbury’s most famous landmark is Burgh Island, which overlooks the beach itself. The island is accessible at low tide, when the waters reveal a causeway that links it to the beach. However, when the tide is in you can still reach the island by hitching a ride on the popular and unique ‘sea tractor’. Burgh Island boasts an award-winning hotel, elegant and rather genteel, it’s an ideal romantic retreat for couples. Explore the South Devon coast with its fabulous sandy beaches and its breathtakingly beautiful coastal path or simply take time to visit some of the charming estuary towns and villages dotted throughout the area, such as Salcombe, Kingsbridge and Dartmouth. The city of Plymouth and the wild open spaces of Dartmoor are also both close at hand.
