Description

Dating back as far as the 16th century and thoughtfully evolved over time, The Captain’s House is a striking Grade II Listed townhouse with four bedrooms, elegant period features, a private walled garden, garage and parking. A rare combination for a property so centrally located. Found on Fore Street in the conservation area of Chudleigh, it blends historical detail with modern comfort and sits within easy reach of Exeter, Dartmoor and Newton Abbot.

The Inside
The home is arranged across four floors, each with its own sense of light, space and character. On the ground floor, a handsome green front door opens into a welcoming entrance lobby with quarry-tiled flooring. From here, you enter the formal dining room – a bright and elegant space with high ceilings, a woodburner and wooden shutters to the bay window.

One of the distinctive period features is the narrow internal plank and muntin screen beside the hall, which leads into a utility room and the wine cellar below. At the rear of the home, the kitchen and breakfast room is the heart of the house: a handcrafted kitchen with slate worktops and matching island, a double Belfast sink and a gas-fired cream AGA with companion oven and hob. From here, French doors open into a David Salisbury garden room – a light-filled, peaceful space with slate flooring, double glazing and views out to the walled garden.

On the first floor, a beautifully refitted family bathroom sits opposite the principal bedroom suite, which features a cast iron fireplace, sash window and a smart en suite with walk-in shower. Just a half-flight up is the drawing room – a wonderfully atmospheric space with wide floorboards, an Ashburton marble fireplace and views over Fore Street to the church.

The second floor has another large double bedroom with lovely town and countryside views, and on the third floor you’ll find two further rooms, each full of charm, exposed beams and natural light. One is currently arranged as a generous double bedroom, while the other is used as a home office with two desks, making excellent use of the space under the eaves. Both rooms could comfortably function as bedrooms or flexible work-from-home space, depending on your needs. The room currently used as a guest room has its own ensuite cloakroom with WC and basin.

Outside
The garden at The Captain’s House is beautifully landscaped and entirely unexpected for this central location. A shared, gated cobbled driveway leads to a private gravelled parking area and a charming stone-built garage. A wisteria-clad pergola and festoon lighting create a welcoming transition into the garden, where a paved dining terrace sits beside mature planting and climbing roses.
Beyond, a generous lawn stretches between stone walls and deep, well-stocked borders, framed by pleached limes and established trees that give a real sense of seclusion. There's a lovely outlook over neighbouring rooftops to open countryside beyond, and the whole garden has been thoughtfully designed for relaxed outdoor living, entertaining and privacy.

Location
Chudleigh is a small but thriving town on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, with a strong community, independent shops, a library, parks, pubs and a highly regarded primary school. The A38 is just minutes away, providing excellent road links to Exeter, Newton Abbot and Plymouth, with the M5 and Exeter Airport also within easy reach. It’s a great location for those seeking the balance of town living and countryside access.
