Sandycoombe, one of a pair of terraced cottages, has been lovingly refurbished and cleverly extended with a spacious sunroom/dining room and raised decking area overlooking a secluded garden and tree lined landscape. In the heart of the South Hams, set in a quiet location in the village of Aveton Gifford this delightful cottage is a short walk from the Avon estuary and a pleasant 4 mile drive from the popular surfing and family beaches of Bantham or Bigbury. Sandycoombe spans 4 floors and is full of character, a welcoming and delightful holiday cottage with a fresh and lively feel.
