Briar Cottage is a characterful three-double-bedroom semi-detached cottage in the heart of Aveton Gifford, recently renovated with a contemporary finish while retaining traditional period charm. The house offers flexible, multi-level accommodation including a lower-ground reception/bedroom and utility area that could be converted to a separate one-bedroom unit — ideal for multi-generational living or rental income. Large windows and dual aspects capture countryside views and bring abundant natural light to the open-plan kitchen/living space.
Outside, a raised southwesterly terrace and a generous, fully-enclosed rear garden provide a private outdoor retreat and room for family life. The location is a genuine village-centre benefit: short walks to the River Avon, village amenities, a good primary school, and only a short drive to South Hams beaches and larger towns such as Kingsbridge and Modbury.
Buyers should note material, factual drawbacks: the property is in a high flood-risk area and has no private parking beyond on-street options. Heating is electric with a boiler and radiators, which can mean higher running costs compared with mains gas. The stone external walls are original granite/whinstone and are assumed to lack built-in insulation, which may affect long-term energy efficiency despite the recent renovation and double glazing.
In short, Briar Cottage will suit buyers seeking a character cottage with contemporary interiors, excellent village access and flexibility for separate accommodation, provided they are comfortable managing the high flood risk, on-street parking and the energy considerations associated with its construction and electric heating.
