Being only a couple of miles from Crediton, Sandford is definitely towards the top of the list for many buyers. Its a pretty village with a square containing a well stocked community shop/post office and one of the two pubs the village offers. Theres a primary school too as well as a regular bus service connecting to Crediton and onto Exeter. It boasts tennis courts, a football pitch and team and one of the most picturesque cricket grounds in the stunning Creedy Park. One of the other notable advantages of Sandford is that its linked via the Millennium Path to Crediton meaning cycling or walking off-road between the two is possible all year round.
Oxford Terrace is a small row of just 5 houses and accessed via a footpath at the front meaning the houses are off the road and benefit from lovely south facing gardens to the front. No.2 is a mid-terraced cottage which is full of character and theres little for a new owner to do. Recently installed solar panels are a fantastic addition and the modern electric smart heating (which adapts to current temperatures) work well with the wood-burner and can be used together to reduce electricity usage clever stuff! On the ground floor is a cosy living room with a wood-burner and views to the front over the garden. Theres also a kitchen/dining room with a range of units and built in appliances. On the first floor, theres two bedrooms served by the family bathroom with bath and shower over. There is also a useful airing cupboard to store towels etc.
Outside, the garden lies to the front (south) and is a combination of lawn, borders and raised beds. Theres a wonderful summer house, ideal as an extra room or office with electric/power and a larger shed with wood store at the end of the garden with an outside tap. This is ideal for those with bikes or outdoor equipment. The garden is a real feature of this cottage and really adds to its appeal.

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 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.

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.
