Shoal Of Furze is a delightful, Grade II Listed thatched property that has been thoughtfully extended in collaboration with renowned local architectural designer Michael Stopher. The passion for good design, whilst retaining the character and integrity of the original building shines through in this innovative, light and airy renovation. The white-washed walls, Cob in part, retain many original features in the period part of the building, including early beams, various plank doors and an impressive spiral staircase. The modern extension forms the heart of this lovely home and takes full advantage of the glorious, South facing views over fields and down the valley to Bantham on the horizon. Underfloor heating on the ground floor offers comfortable living, enhanced by the attractive wood burner in the cosy sitting room. The light filled kitchen, living/dining room features triple aspect windows/doors giving access into the private, established garden. The high spec, handle less fitted kitchen integrates Neff, Liebherr and Miele appliances and tranquil al fresco dining can be enjoyed on the decked area, accessed via the focal main window and double doors that effortlessly brings the outside in. Duravit and Geberit bathroom fittings enhance the stylish shower room, with the ceiling window offering intriguing views of the thatch and sky. An adaptable room off the central sitting room could be used as a study or third single bedroom. The two upstairs bedrooms reflect the historic heritage of the building and enjoy far reaching views.

Outside the level, good sized lawned garden has several secluded seating areas, an elevated viewpoint from which to take in the sweeping South Hams scenery, raised vegetable beds and native planted new hedgerows with oak panelled boarders. The extended brick chimney stack adds character to the rear elevation and a garden store houses the electric pump, and UV lamp and filters (replaced annually) for the shared private spring water supply. Shoal Of Furze offers a tantalizing mixture of old and new, beautifully presented in an exceptional rural location with driveway parking for two vehicles.

Situated close to the pretty villages of Aveton Gifford, Kingston and Bigbury, the property lies in a sought after secluded area, with Kingsbridge and Modbury offering comprehensive high street facilities and all local amenities equal distance apart.
