This spacious thatched cottage in Chittlehampton, Devon, was originally part of a former village inn, with shaped walls that once stored oak barrels. The traditional cottage features beamed ceilings, exposed stonework, and a large fireplace, offering a peaceful retreat year-round. Situated near the village square, a local pub, and shop, it is also within driving distance of North Devon's finest beaches like Saunton and Croyde, popular with surfers, swimmers, walkers, and cyclists on the Tarka Trail. Nearby towns Barnstaple and South Molton offer pannier markets, shops, Dartington Crystal, RHS Rosemoor Gardens, golf courses, and National Trust properties.
Upon entering the cottage, guests are greeted with a hallway leading to a lounge/diner with a feature fireplace, wood burner, Smart TV, and a large dining table for communal meals. The kitchen, with an antique brick floor, is fully equipped for self-catering needs. A rear lobby leads to a separate WC and utility room doubling as a boot room for outdoor gear. Upstairs, a wooden staircase leads to a large landing area and three bedrooms—a spacious double room, a twin room, and a single bedroom—along with a bathroom. Outside, a small rear courtyard with a bistro table and chairs opens onto a pathway to a large enclosed lawn garden with garden furniture and a charcoal BBQ. Parking is available roadside or in the village square car park.
