Chawleigh, South West • England
Mid Devon villages like Chawleigh, a short hop from Chulmleigh on the A377, are the kind of places crews end up when the job list covers half the county. EX-postcode country, rolling farmland, and housing that's built to last. KrewBase takes whole houses around Chawleigh and the neighbouring villages, puts gas, electric, water and council tax in our name, tests the Wi-Fi before check-in, and sends your company one monthly invoice for all of it.
The villages here are classic mid Devon: rendered cob and stone cottages in the older cores, brick farmhouses and barn conversions along the lanes, and small modern estates in Chulmleigh itself. Crews fit best in the newer or converted stock — solid heating, real kitchens, and crucially space to park. We only shortlist properties with off-road parking for your vehicles, workable phone signal and broadband, and enough bedrooms to end the sleeping-on-sofas routine.
Work in this part of Devon is spread wide and thin: farm buildings and rural housing, highway maintenance along the A377 and A361, utility and grid work across the countryside, plus the trades that support the market towns. Crews based around Chawleigh typically cover a patch running between Barnstaple, Exeter and the smaller sites in the Taw valley. When the job moves, we move the housing with it.
The A377 links Barnstaple and Exeter through the Taw valley, and the A361 at nearby Chulmleigh heads north and west across the county. Exeter is roughly twenty miles south and Barnstaple around fifteen north. Umberleigh station, a few miles away, has services towards Exeter. Because mid Devon sites are often off the beaten track, we shortlist by measured drive time from your exact site — send the postcode and we'll do the rest.
Send headcount, vehicles, site location and start date, and a shortlist comes back within two hours. The house is let whole to your crew, bills and council tax sit in our name, and broadband is tested before check-in. A crew of five or more gets two bathrooms as standard, along with a weekly clean and fresh linen. Maintenance is our problem, not the crew's and not yours, and everything — rent, bills, cleans — arrives as one monthly invoice, paid by card. No booking fees, no minimum stay.
Send us the requirement — town, dates, headcount, vehicles and any shift pattern we should know about. We come back within 2 hours with a shortlist from property we already hold, not a search we have just started. You pick, we confirm, the crew moves in, and we stay on it for the length of the job. One monthly invoice, card payment for limited companies, no booking fees.
That's exactly what we're set up for. Send the site postcode — or a pin — and we measure real drive times to available properties around Chawleigh, Chulmleigh and the A377 villages. If nothing suitable sits within a sensible commute, we widen to Barnstaple or Exeter and tell you the honest trade-off.
Yes, both. Rural properties usually have space for vans, and we confirm parking against your actual vehicles before offering anything. Broadband is tested for speed before check-in, and if a property's connection won't hold up we fix it or don't send it. Both are covered in the one monthly invoice.
Chawleigh, Chulmleigh and the surrounding villages along the A377 and A361, plus wider mid Devon — Barnstaple to the north, Exeter and Crediton to the south. Wherever the job sits in the county, we aim to house the crew within a sensible drive of it.
One invoice, monthly, paid by card. It covers rent, gas, electric, water, council tax, Wi-Fi, weekly cleans and linen — no collecting receipts, no per-head hotel bills. Purchase orders and cost codes are no problem if your finance team needs them.
None. Small crews on short jobs book as easily as a large gang for months. Pricing is per property rather than per person, so a couple of trades often work out cheaper than hotel rooms while getting a full house with a kitchen, living room and washing machine.
Tell us as early as you can and we'll extend the booking on the same terms in most cases. Crews staying put is better for everyone — no re-packing, no new deposit, same invoice. If the property is genuinely booked afterwards, we'll line up alternatives before your end date.
