North Week Farmhouse is tucked away in a peaceful rural location yet enjoys easy access to a wide range of local amenities. The small town of Chulmleigh offers a range of shops, a health centre and schooling to secondary level with the school bus pick-up point at the foot of the farm lane at Week Cross. The local market town of South Molton has a more comprehensive range of shops, banks and schooling, a supermarket as well as weekly livestock and farmers’ markets and the nearby independent West Buckland School. The A361 (North Devon Link Road) provides a link to the M5 motorway (junction 27) and to Tiverton Parkway rail station which has mainline services to London Paddington taking as little as two hours. Exeter International Airport provides a number of flights to domestic and European destinations.

The property is approached through twin five bar gates over a courtyard providing parking for multiple vehicles and giving access to an attached courtyard of traditional outbuildings. The large garden is laid mainly to lawn and is ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining, the whole enclosed by stock fencing and mature trees and enjoying far-reaching views over the surrounding rolling countryside. There is also a well-fenced gently sloping paddock with excellent views, as well as a block of established woodland. In total, the land measures approximately 3.79 acres.
