Situation
Faith Cottage is located in the traditional village of Chittlehampton, one of the most sought-after villages in the area. The village is centred around its fine church, which dominates The Square and has one of the tallest towers in Devon. There is also a Post Office/general stores and the very popular Bell Inn, a well-regarded village pub.

The market town of South Molton is approximately five miles to the east and provides for most everyday requirements, including a health centre, Post Office, good range of shops, supermarket and award-winning Pannier Market. A wider range of facilities and commercial venues can be found in the regional centre of Barnstaple, approximately 7.5 miles to the north-west. The Exmoor and Dartmoor National Parks, together with the renowned North Devon coastline, are all within easy reach by car.

Description
Faith Cottage is a charming Grade II Listed period cottage, believed to date from the late 16th century and retaining a wealth of character and original features. The property provides very well-presented accommodation arranged over two floors. There is a separate garden area, accessed via a pedestrian pathway, which enjoys attractive views over the village.

Accommodation
The accommodation is arranged over two floors and combines a good level of modern comfort with a wealth of attractive period features. The shared entrance hall opens directly into the spacious sitting/dining room, which has a high ceiling, exposed beams, flagstone flooring and an impressive stone Inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove. The room provides ample space for both sitting and dining furniture and has a deep-set multi-paned window with window seat. A traditional ledged and braced door leads through to the fitted kitchen, which has a good range of wall and base units, wood-effect work surfaces, integrated oven and gas hob, together with space and plumbing for further appliances. A stable-style rear door opens directly onto a pedestrian footpath.

From the sitting room, a turning staircase rises to the first-floor galleried landing, which has an exposed cruck timber, a deep-set window and useful space for a small desk or study area. There are two double bedrooms, both enjoying attractive period character and deep-set multi-paned windows, together with a traditional-style bathroom comprising a panelled cast-iron bath with shower over, pedestal wash basin and WC. The bathroom also features recessed shelving and an attractive, now non-functional, Victorian cast-iron fireplace.

Outside
To the rear of the cottage, a pedestrian footpath weaves between period cottages to a separate area of garden, which is predominantly laid to lawn with an area of paving at the lower end, partially bounded by a stone wall. The garden enjoys attractive, far-reaching views across the village. The garden provides a very pleasant outdoor space and is only a very short walk from the rear of the cottage (85 yards).
