Property Reference 1598 : Home to someone who is flexible as to the timing of a house swap.
Bradninch is a close knit friendly community in the Devon hills, 10 miles north of Exeter. This circa 1780's terraced house has traditional features and a wood burning stove. From the front door there are many wonderful walks. Within 40 minutes drive are the beautiful small seaside towns of Exmouth, Budleigh Salterton, Sidmouth, & Beer. Exmoor & Dartmoor are within an hour's drive.
The house is a great base either for someone wanting a quiet holiday enjoying the garden and local walks, or as a base to explore the wider Devon/Somerset area with all its tourist attractions, interesting towns & villages and beautiful countryside. The nearest shop and eating places are within 10 minutes walk from the house, and there is a bus stop for a twice hourly service to Exeter and Cullompton.

Established in 2003, 'Christian House and Church Swap’ (CHACS) is a UK based house-swap holiday organisation.
There are registered members throughout the UK, Europe and further afield. House-swapping works well for everyone; single people, married couples, friends and families. Instead of paying a substantial amount of money for holiday accommodation, and then leaving your house empty, you can simply swap homes with other Christians!
It's a different and exciting way to holiday!
COST.... There is no charge for registration or membership. Only if/when a house-swap takes place do we ask you to pay an administration fee of £50. For second and subsequent swaps in the same year, the admin fee is £25.
Registration forms available on chacs website.
USING YOUR HOME....Your house, however humble or grand, will provide a great holiday base for someone else.Your locality, so familiar to you, has lots to offer to someone new to the area.
SECURITY...There is a rise in house burglary when occupants are away from home. By house swapping you have automatic Christian house sitters! When people register with us, we contact their church leader. This is for everyone’s peace of mind.
LOCAL COMMUNITY... Another great feature is that you will holiday in a local community. A local person, friend or neighbour, will have agreed to give you the key, check that you are okay and to deal with any queries. That person will also be able to give you up-to-date information about nearby amenities, local events, places to visit, best pubs, good restaurants and so on.
PETS AND PLANTS… House swappers are usually happy to water the garden and indoor plants, and feed the cat and goldfish! Mutual dog owners are generally happy for the dogs to be included in the swap.
IT’S YOUR CHOICE!...You get to choose from the descriptions of over 200 properties, mostly in the UK, but abroad too, all found in the online brochure. You pay the administration fee only when your house swap is confirmed. And you might want to swap once or several times a year, or only once every 2 or 3 years. There is never any pressure on you to make a specific choice. The choice is yours!
