About this property

Set in the tranquil pretty South Devon village of Aveton Gifford, this quaint cottage has been styled for a cosy comfortable and sumptuous stay. Sitting above the Avon estuary, bordering the South West coastline which leads to Bantham beach, Thurlestone, Salcombe and East Prawle.  A charming 3-bedroom retreat blends rustic charm with vibrant, contemporary coastal aesthetic. It's the perfect base for families, couples, and four-legged furry friends seeking a convenient South Devon escape for some of the best beaches in the UK, and easy access to hiking hotspots on Dartmoor.

Step inside to a warm, inviting sitting room centred around an exposed stone fireplace complete with a cosy log burner. Relax into stylish comfy armchairs curled up with a book from the well-stocked library after a day of coastal exploration. The space flows seamlessly into a fully equipped kitchen featuring sleek modern appliances, an air fryer, and a wine cooler—perfect for prepping beach picnics or cooking up a feast with fresh local Devon produce. To the rear lies a private, fully enclosed stone courtyard—a genuine sun-trap for balmy summer evenings. Complete with an outdoor dining table, BBQ, and fire pit, it is an idyllic, secure space to unwind with a glass of wine while your dog rests safely at your feet.

Aveton Gifford is a peaceful haven ideally situated to explore the very best of the South Hams. Walk just minutes from your front door to join the stunning Avon Estuary walk, a paradise for birdwatchers, walkers, and wild swimmers. The village itself hosts The Fisherman’s Rest, a highly-regarded traditional pub serving excellent food, alongside a well-equipped village shop.

When the sea calls, the world-class sandy beaches of Bigbury-on-Sea and Bantham (famous for surfing and dramatic views of Burgh Island) are just a short 15-minute drive away. The bustling market towns of Kingsbridge and Salcombe are also within easy reach for boutique shopping and boat trips.
