The Square, Sandford

A great chance to have a home or investment property in the sought-after village of Sandford, 2 bedrooms, on the square and being sold with no chain.

Sandford is a pretty village only a couple of miles north of Crediton with a thriving community and within easy reach of amenities. The village itself boasts two pubs, shop, church and various clubs plus a regularly used village hall and a well-regarded primary school.

The cottage is found on the pretty square, with an open outlook to fields beyond. It will appeal to a wide range of buyers from those looking for a lock up and leave in a great village, to investment buyers. The current owner has occupied as a main residence but in more recent months has done very well from holiday letting on Airbnb so this is a possibility.

It is in great condition with a cosy sitting room with wood-burner, a useful dining area or study too which links to the kitchen along the back. On the first floor are two bedrooms and a shower room, all recently decorated. The property has been updated to modern electrics and heating with the rear bedroom having been completely stripped and replastered.

AGENTS NOTES : Please note that there is rear access to the property but there’s no garden, parking is available on a first come, first served basis on the square or there’s a village carpark a short walk away.

SANDFORD is a civil parish and village 1½ miles north of Crediton, with a historic 12th Century Church. It has an old -world feel, with slender twisting streets, flanked by antique thatched cottages – displaying a menagerie of “Beatrix Potter” style perennial gardens. At the village heart sits a 16thCentury Post House, enshrined by creepers – this is now ‘The Lamb Inn’, an award winning pub/ restaurant; with a rustic aesthetic and cheerful spirit. Featured in ‘The Daily Mail’s – 20 Best British Country Pubs’ (2015). Across the way from here is the shop/ post office, run by the local community. Community is something that underpins every aspect of Sandford, including the local sporting events. Residents have a choice of things to do: such as joining the village cricket, tennis, football and rugby clubs. For the kids, Sandford has a highly sought after pre-school and a primary school (known for its classic Greek-style architecture). Older ones fall within the direct catchment for Q.E.C.C. in Crediton (with an Ofsted “outstanding” Sixth Form). Sandford is linked to Crediton via a footpath, then runs through the Millennium Green on the outskirts of the village – past a wildflower meadow, herb garden, over a crystal stream, yonder tilled fields to a little copse at the town’s-edge.
