The pretty Mid Devon village of Sandford, just 2 miles north of Crediton, boasts 2 pubs, a thriving community shop and post office and an active village hall, add in the fact theres a regular bus service and you have a village that tops many buyers lists. Situated a short walk from The Square, this detached house offers plenty of space inside and out and would be perfect for those who may wish their home to grow with them. Theres planning permission (no time limit) in place to enlarge the ground floor at the rear and depending on ambition, this would create a bigger open plan kitchen/dining/family room overlooking the rear garden. Not that the house needs it, at over 1300 sqft, its a good sized house but this really would make it.
The layout offers a utility space on the lower ground floor which doubles as the entrance hall plus the all important WC. Stairs lead up to the ground floor with the kitchen and adjacent dining room (which could be knocked through without even extending). Theres a lovely large and light living room with wood-burner and some lovely rural views. To complete this floor is a study, giving flexibility to the layout. Up again and theres 4 bedrooms and the family bathroom. The whole house has oil fired central heating (new boiler 2023) and uPVC double glazing.
Outside, theres plenty of space. The elevated front garden has wonderful views and is private considering the location within the village. A pathway to the side leads to the rear patio and then the remainder of the garden is mainly lawned with a rural outlook. Also to the front is off-road parking for 3 vehicles.
Agents note: Plans have been passed for the rear extension and the work was officially started so the planning is in place now with no time scales. The agents have more drawings of the plans if required.
Please see the floorplan for room sizes.

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 Mails 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. 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, that 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 towns-edge.

What Other Related Technologies Does PropertyHeads Use, and Why?
Tracking Pixels: Our advertising partners may use tracking pixels or similar technology to measure the success of the sponsored posts or other advertising products they use. A “tracking pixel” (also sometimes called web beacon, or clear GIF) is a tiny piece of code, invisible to the user, placed on a webpage or in an email and used in combination with a cookie, to link a given activity or impression back to the user; the advertiser includes it in its content so it can measure whether our members interact with that content (for example, by clicking to view an offer). We may set our own tracking pixel on an advertiser’s website so we can measure whether our members found the advertiser’s content effective or interesting, by tracking whether the sponsored post prompted members to take advantage of the advertised offer. This information helps us assess whether sponsored posts and other advertising offers are relevant and interesting to our members and successful for the advertiser.
