Situation

The village has the melancholy distinction of having lost the highest proportion of its enlisting population of any municipality in the United Kingdom during the First World War: of 100 men who enlisted in the forces, 24 died. A stone memorial to them was recently erected in the churchyard, replacing wooden memorial tablets within the church.
Legend has it that the Devil died of the cold in Northlew. There is a stone in the village that represents where the Devil is meant to have died of the cold.
The village boasts a public house, two churches and a primary school. The bustling town of Okehampton, packed full of facilities, is a mere 6 miles distant. The position also provides excellent access into Exeter via the A30.
Directions
From the Belstone Services junction on the A30, take the B3260 through Okehampton. After leaving the town, take the first turning right signposted Nortlew and Bude. Follow this road towards the village of Northlew. The property will be found after approximately 6 miles, accessed along a private drive on the left hand side, just prior to entering the village.
