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. There’s 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, it’s 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). There’s 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 there’s 4 bedrooms and the family bathroom. The whole house has oil fired central heating (new boiler 2023) and uPVC double glazing.Outside, there’s plenty of space. The elevated front garden has wonderful views and is private considering the location within the village.

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.

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. 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 town’s-edge.
