Sandford, Crediton

A large period family home with views over The Square, 4 bedrooms, characterful accommodation

This is a spacious Grade II family house found just of The Square in the pretty and sought after village of Sandford, just 2 miles from the market town of Crediton and with amenities including an excellent community shop/post office, primary school, 2 pubs and an active village hall and sports fields.

The house has been loved by the current owners having been there for around 22 years and now there’s an opportunity for the next owners to love it just as much. Presented over 3 floors, the accommodation is full of character and is spacious with an open hallway, a living room with large fireplace housing a ClearView wood-burner and opening into the dining room. There is a kitchen with quartz tops which opens out on the courtyard garden which enjoys the summer sun. On the first floor is a large master bedroom with fireplace and built in storage and the second bedroom and family bathroom and then up to the second floor with 2 further bedrooms with village views.

Outside the property is approached from the village lane, just off The Square. The heavy front door is a beautiful feature.

There is a timber shed and outside oil boiler for the central heating and of course, the oil tank.

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.
