Large enclosed gardens, parking and detached double garage/workshop with planning consent for conversion to a holiday cottage. Total about a fifth of an acre. Council Tax Band C. Freehold.
Situation
Leol Cottage is set towards the eastern edge of the very popular village of Chittlehampton. The village is one of the most sought after in the area and has a fine church, which dominates the Square and has the second tallest church tower in Devon. Excellent village amenities include a Post Office/general stores and very popular and renowned public house, The Bell Inn.
About five miles to the east is the thriving market town of South Molton, which offers an excellent range of facilities and amenities including schooling to secondary level. The A361 (North Devon Link Road) bypasses the town and provides an excellent road link to the regional centre of Barnstaple to the west and to Tiverton and the M5 (Junction 27) to the east where there is a railway station at Tiverton Parkway on the London Paddington line.
A wider range of facilities and commercial venues are available in the regional centre of Barnstaple, about eight miles to the north-west. Both Exmoor National Park to the north east, Dartmoor National Park to the south and the renowned North Devon coastline are all within easy reach by car.
Description
Leol Cottage is a quintessential period semi-detached cottage of stone/cob elevations under a thatched roof. Having been extended in recent years, the cottage is presented in immaculate decorative order throughout and it is offered to the market with no onward chain. The cottage has a lovely 'cosy' feel, together with a contemporary twist and is ready for immediate occupation.
There are large enclosed gardens and a very useful, timber-framed double garage and workshop that has planning consent for conversion to a holiday cottage.
Accommodation
An open porch and front door leads directly into the double aspect SITTING ROOM with an engineered oak floor, ceiling spotlights, inglenook fireplace with slate hearth and wood burning stove and bread oven. There are fitted sideboard units below a large serving hatch into the KITCHEN which is fitted with a striking modern range of units with timber effect worktops with 1 bowl sink with mixer tap. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher and electric oven with 4 plate induction hob over. Matching range of wall-mounted units and space for upright fridge/freezer. Stairs to first floor.
Off the sitting room, through a wide glazed door is the inner HALL with oak floor with plenty of room for a desk and with spiral staircase to the first floor.
The FIRST FLOOR is effectively divided into two and is served by two staircases. From the inner hall, an oak spiral staircase leads up to the MASTER BEDROOM with glazed double doors leading to a gravelled seating area and the garden. Off the bedroom is an EN-SUITE SHOWER RECESS fitted with a modern suite.
From the kitchen, another staircase leads up to a LANDING with doors off to THREE FURTHER BEDROOMS and a SHOWER ROOM fitted with a modern suite.

Firstly, a gravelled driveway that leads past the adjoining cottage leads through a pair of gates to a parking area for two cars in front of the cottage and which is bordered by high raised flower beds. Steps lead up to the large, enclosed gardens which are primarily laid to lawn and bordered by mature hedges or fencing.
