4 Bedroom Cottage for sale in Crediton

Situated just off the centre of the sought after village of Sandford, set in a peaceful courtyard, this unique property is just a stone's throw away from the bustling village square, which boasts a vibrant community and amenities, including two pubs, a village shop, and a primary school (rated Good by Ofsted). There’s a regular bus service to Crediton and Exeter (multiple daily) and the Millenium path gives a year round footpath between Sandford and Crediton.
Having enjoyed the cottage for the past few years, the current owners have created a spacious and comfortable layout across two floors. We love the room sizes, together with the flexibility that has been created by knocking through to the former attached barn, which now gives options to use as a larger single dwelling or indeed to utilise the “barn” as an annexe (see later).
The ground floor features a stylish and sociable kitchen/dining room, sure to be the heart of the home complete with a large island and doors out onto the pretty garden at the front. There’s a large, beautifully presented sitting room with a wood-burner. From the kitchen, the stairs lead up to the first floor, which comprises of three double bedrooms and a large bathroom with a separate shower. From the kitchen, access can be gained to a ground floor shower room and utility and a second set of stairs rise to the fourth double bedroom. There’s a door to outside from the utility room meaning that this end of the property could be used independent to the main house and the “annexe” would have a small kitchen, shower room and a bedroom.
To the front of the property is a delightful garden with a brick sun terrace, a separate storage building, and an area of lawn with mature flower borders. Access to the garden is through a cobbled pathway, providing a secluded and peaceful outdoor space perfect for entertaining or relaxing.
Agents’ note: There is a small (less than 10%) portion of a flying freehold over the neighbour in bedroom two. As is common on a property of this type, there is also a historic access for a neighbour through the garden, (but this is rarely used).

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. 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 town’s-edge.
DIRECTIONS: For Sat-Nav use EX17 4LN, as you turn into the village square, the cobbled alleyway is found immediately on your left, with an ‘Old Bakery West’ sign to point you in the right direction.
