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.

Directions

From Fowlers double doors turn right and walk down The Square and into Southecombe Street. 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. Go through the gate and the stable door entrance into Trevithick Cottage is just on your right.
