North Walk House is a rare Grade II listed five-bedroom period home tucked into the heart of historic Chulmleigh. The house combines layered architectural history — from 16th-century cob walls to a Georgian façade — with intact period details such as sash windows, original timber lintels and two wood-burning stoves. A galleried landing with stained glass and a vaulted attic bedroom add real character and charm for family living.
The walled garden and York stone terrace provide private outdoor space for children and entertaining, while a 1930s greenhouse, courtyard, useful outbuildings and single garage add practical utility. The home sits within easy walking distance of well-regarded local schools and village amenities, making daily life straightforward for families wanting a village base.
Buyers should be clear-eyed about limitations: the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may make some repairs or modernisation more complex and costly. Broadband speeds are slow, and council tax is above average. The property’s overall internal size is modest for five bedrooms (approximately 1,198 sq ft), so some rooms are compact; the layout includes multiple staircases and level changes that may suit active families but could challenge mobility needs.
For the right buyer, North Walk House offers a beautifully preserved, characterful home with a large private plot and genuine renovation potential within conservation constraints. It rewards those seeking atmosphere, proximity to village life and outdoor space rather than a blank‑canvas modern conversion.
