Chawleigh

On the border of Mid and North Devon sits the pretty village of Chawleigh, just a couple of miles from the town of Chulmleigh - it’s got the village feel without being isolated.

The property is practically detached due to only being adjoined to a freestanding wall on the front elevation and definitely has that feel both externally and internally. The stone house is both attractive and grand in its appearance and lots of thought has gone into preserving the aesthetic and character of the original house whilst bringing it up to modern day living standards. There is modern double glazing (sash style on the front) plus central heating and  wood-burners to provide comfort and convenience.

On the ground floor are two generous reception rooms, currently used as a living room and a dining room with a central staircase to the first floor running from the entrance hall. The kitchen is across the back and there is a useful utility room and WC too. On the first floor are 4 bedrooms, the 4th bedroom being best used as a small nursery, hobby room or study. The bedrooms are all served by a family bathroom.

Outside, the easy to maintain front garden has an attractive hedge, there’s off-road parking to the side plus a garage. In the garden is a stone outbuilding which has potential to alter/improve to suit a new buyer and a recently added garden room, ideal for a work space or play room. The remainder of the garden is mainly laid to lawn with planted beds for veggies or flowers and is a private, level and safe space which faces southwest so enjoys the sunshine.

Please see the floorplan for room sizes.

The village has two traditional inns and a post office/ shop. Eggesford station is only 2.5 miles away, where trains run north and south overlooked by sheer wooded valleys, a prominent feature of the area.

DIRECTIONS : From Crediton, head on the A377 towards Barnstaple, pass through Copplestone and Lapford. When reaching Eggesford Station, turn right towards Chawleigh. Enter the village and the property will be found on your right hand side approx. 200m past the Post Office/stores.
