SITUATION Aveton Gifford is nestled in a peaceful valley in an area of outstanding Natural Beauty and lies on the western banks of the River Avon, with a plethora of beautiful walks. The village is well known for its sense of community and benefits from a well-respected Nursery and Primary School, a public house with restaurant, church, tennis club, playground and large park and the community village shop. The village is also on the bus route to Kingsbridge and Plymouth.
More extensive shopping and leisure facilities can be found in the market town of Kingsbridge which lies approximately 5 miles to the south. The property is also located within easy reach of several of the outstanding South Hams beaches, including the surfing beaches of Bigbury on Sea and Bantham. Bigbury Golf Course is about 3 miles away whilst the A38 with its dual carriageway connection to Plymouth & Exeter is only some 6 miles away. Families will note that it is within the catchment area for Kingsbridge Community College whilst for the sailing enthusiast, the beautiful Salcombe Estuary offers wonderful opportunities for exploring many of the area's sheltered coves and deep-water anchorages.
