Trevithick Cottage at 17 Southcombe Street is an end terrace home built of granite and with a small patio garden area. It has accommodation over three levels with a slate floored kitchen/ dining room on the ground floor, a first floor sitting area, a bathroom and a top floor double bedroom with some eaves storage. It is in quite good decorative order and is gas centrally heated with double or secondary double glazing to most windows. This charming and quirky cottage has been a much loved second home bolt hole and a good rental prospect too. Fowlers strongly recommend viewing.
Situation
Trevithick cottage is most conveniently located just less than 100 paces from the bustling town square in the vibrant ancient Stannary town of Chagford in Dartmoor. Chagford has great amenities with a wide range of day to day and specialist shops, cafes and restaurant, four pubs, busy village halls and an active social round. The town has a Primary school, pre school and a Montessori, a Parish church, Roman Catholic church and chapel, a library and surgeries for doctor, dentist and vet. Chagford is surrounded by countryside, riverside and moorland walks yet is only 5 miles from the A30 dual carriageway and approximately 20 miles from Exeter.
Services
Mains gas, water, drainage and electricity.

Note:
The nature of the evolution of towns such as Chagford and many of these stone cottages is that they sometimes have little areas of overlap with neighbouring homes, which are known as flying freeholds. Trevithick Cottage has some of these which have existed possibly since it was built over 200 years ago. This is not unusual.

Continue down along Southecombe Street and just before the bend on the right and adjacent to a small public garden you will find a gated entrance to a pathway.
