Whiteway House

Whiteway House is a Georgian country house built in the 1770s in Chudleigh, set near the base of Haldon Hills. The building shows a symmetrical front made with local Devon stone, though parts including a north-east wing were removed during later changes after the 1960s.

The house was built in the 1770s by John Parker, 1st Baron Boringdon, who also managed the major Saltram estate nearby in Plympton. This period represented the height of Georgian country house building before the property underwent changes in later centuries.

The design reflects how wealthy English landowners of the 1700s liked to build their country homes. The choices made in its construction tell a story about what these families valued in their estates.

The house is located in Chudleigh within a hilly area and can be reached by local roads through the village. Visitors should check in advance whether the building can be viewed, as it remains privately owned.

A stone memorial in Chudleigh Church records the Bennett family name across generations linked to this house. This inscription shows how the family maintained their connection to the place over a long span of time.
