SELLERS INSIGHT

“After viewing many properties, we found it surprisingly difficult to discover a home that truly met all of our needs — somewhere modern and spacious, yet with a real sense of privacy, a generous garden, and not part of a large housing estate. When we discovered Chapel Court in Chudleigh, everything immediately fell into place. The setting, the space, and the feeling of the home simply worked for us, and we knew straight away that our search was over.

The location has been ideal for our lifestyle. We needed excellent access to the M5 to travel upcountry and visit family, while also wanting to enjoy the beauty of the South Devon coastline, which is just a short 20-minute drive away. The property offers a wonderful sense of security and ease, giving us complete peace of mind when travelling — it’s a home that is as comfortable to live in as it is easy to lock up and leave.

One of the things we’ve loved most is the balance of community and convenience. Chudleigh has a charming village atmosphere, yet offers the amenities and facilities of a thriving town. There’s a genuine community spirit here, with local groups, independent shops, and welcoming surroundings that make everyday living both convenient and enjoyable. At the same time, the countryside is quite literally on the doorstep, with beautiful walks and open spaces providing endless opportunities to step outside, unwind, and connect with nature.

The house itself has been perfect for family life and entertaining. The generous proportions throughout mean there is always plenty of space for visiting family and guests to stay comfortably, with all the bedrooms offering excellent size and flexibility. Despite its scale, the home is wonderfully easy to maintain, allowing more time to simply enjoy living here.

The kitchen has truly been the heart of the home — a bright, sociable space where we spend most of our time. It’s large enough to accommodate a sofa, creating a relaxed environment for gathering, cooking, and spending time together while enjoying views of the garden. In the evenings, we retreat to the living room, where the cosy atmosphere and warmth of the fire make it the perfect place to unwind.

After eight very happy years, we are moving to Nottingham due to family and health reasons. If it were possible to take this house with us, we would do so without hesitation — it has been a wonderful home and has perfectly supported our lifestyle throughout our time here.”
