Chawleigh is a quiet semi-rural village nestled in the heart of central Devon overlooking the Little Dart and Taw Valleys. The village itself benefits from a post office/general store, as well as two local public houses. Lying just over a mile to the north west is the small town of Chulmleigh providing a thriving and very active local community which has managed to retain a good range of local services, including highly regarded primary and secondary schools, a sports centre, post office, various shops, a health centre, dentist, public houses and restaurants, and a historic town hall. Despite its rural position the property still enjoys easy access to the surrounding districts and further afield with the larger centres of South Molton, Crediton and Exeter providing an extensive range of every day shopping, banking, recreational and educational facilities. From South Molton the A361 North Devon link road provides easy access to the M5 motorway (Junction 27). There are nearby rail stations on the Barnstaple to Exeter (Tarka) line at Eggesford and Lapford. There is also a regular bus service to Crediton and Exeter. Mainline intercity rail links are available at Exeter and Tiverton Parkway, with international airports at Exeter and Bristol. The area provides a wealth of recreational activities including walking, horse riding, cycling, fishing on the rivers Mole and Taw, hunting, shooting and nearby golf courses at Chulmleigh and Libbaton. To the north the Exmoor National Park offers beautiful moorland scenery with many foot and bridle paths, whilst the stunning North Devon coast is easily accessible.
