A historic riverside cottage with idyllic private gardens, Grade II listing and a uniquely atmospheric setting beside the River Avon. EPC Band: Exempt.
Situation - Bridge Cottage enjoys a wonderfully atmospheric position on the edge of the popular South Hams village of Avonwick, set within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village has a friendly and active community, with a well-regarded pub and restaurant, Victorian church, children’s play park and Avon Vale Tennis Club, one of the world’s oldest lawn tennis clubs.
The cottage sits beside the River Avon and the ancient Cobbly Walk, offering immediate access to woodland paths and the wider countryside, while Dartmoor and the region’s renowned coastline lie within easy reach. The A38 is just a mile away, giving excellent links to Exeter, Plymouth and the M5. Totnes is five miles distant with extensive shops, services and a mainline station to London Paddington, and nearby South Brent provides further daily amenities including a primary school and doctor’s surgery.
Description - A remarkably characterful Grade II listed former toll house, Bridge Cottage combines early nineteenth-century heritage with a captivating riverside setting and beautifully tended gardens that run the full length of the riverbank. The cottage offers atmospheric living over three floors, with thoughtful modern comforts enhancing its original charm.
Exposed timbers, slate and pine floor finishes, deep window sills and hand-crafted shutters create a warm period feel throughout, while contemporary kitchen and bathroom fittings, broadband connectivity and double-glazed secondary units ensure everyday ease. The property has served with considerable success as a holiday home and lends itself equally to full-time living, creative retreat or idyllic second residence.
Accommodation - To the front is the sitting room, an inviting space featuring a log burner and views towards the river. The kitchen/dining room sits to the rear, with space for everyday dining and steps rising to the first floor and descending to the lower ground floor.
On the first floor are two attractive double bedrooms, both enjoying a peaceful outlook, together with a modern shower room. The lower ground floor provides a practical utility room with direct access to the terrace and gardens, along with a well-presented bathroom with a jacuzzi tub. The cottage benefits from underfloor heating, electric radiators, secondary glazing and useful loft storage.
Outside - Bridge Cottage enjoys free and extensive parking along the Cobbly Walk beside the property, together with further space immediately adjacent to the cottage.
The gardens are a defining feature of the property, a private stretch of riverbank extending around 200 feet, with lawned areas, established planting and a stone terrace directly outside the cottage. A gazebo offers a sheltered spot overlooking the river, complemented by a greenhouse, shed, log store and gate providing access to the historic Cobbly Walk.
The garden offers a wonderfully tranquil setting with full riverbank ownership and private fishing rights.
Services - Mains water. Private drainage via shared Klargester septic tank. Mains electricity. Underfloor heating throughout, electric radiators in all rooms, log burning stove.
