There is central heating pipework and radiators with a back-boiler from the wood-burning stove, which would be improved with a new boiler.

CHAWLEIGH is a village set back from the A377, approximately halfway between the City of Exeter and Barnstaple in North Devon. Less than an hour’s drive from each, it stands on high ground, beyond the Little Dart and Taw Rivers. It features an historic church, fashioned from stone in the early English style, with an embattled tower containing six bells. The village has a traditional inn and a post office/ shop. There is a well regarded nursery and pre-school in the village and schooling to secondary level in the nearby town of Chulmleigh, where you can also find a range of shops and amenities. 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.  There are excellent opportunities for walking and riding in the area and the scenic beaches of North Devon can be found within an hour's drive.
