Kyle Cottage is a characterful mid-terrace cottage in the heart of Aveton Gifford, arranged over three floors with a useful loft room and stone-built garage at the bottom of the garden. The house blends period features — exposed beams and a multi-fuel stove — with practical upgrades such as double glazing and ten solar panels that reduce running costs. The conservatory and rear rooms enjoy countryside and park views, while the garden provides direct access to surrounding walks and the village play park.
The layout suits several buyers: a family seeking village life with a good primary school nearby, buyers after a lock-up-and-leave holiday home, or investors looking for a long-term let (apex potential c. £1,500pcm). Accommodation includes a cosy sitting room, separate dining area, galley kitchen with integrated appliances, conservatory, three principal bedrooms, a loft office/hobby room and a modern shower bathroom.
Buyers should note a few practical points. Heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators (not a community system) and the original granite walls are assumed to have no built-in insulation, so insulating improvements could be beneficial. The cottage has one bathroom only and some rooms have low ceilings; overall it would benefit from targeted modernisation in places rather than full refurbishment. There is a shared gate arrangement for refuse access used by the current vendor only.
Overall this is a versatile, well-located village home offering character, strong local amenities and good let potential, particularly attractive for those who value riverside walks, easy access to the creek and the quieter lifestyle of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
