2 Bedroom Semi-Detached House for sale in Crediton

1 2 1

Located just a stone’s throw from Sandford’s Square, this delightful property is sure to appeal to a range of buyers. The village itself has a wonderful community with plenty going on and regular events and activities are held in the village hall. There are two pubs, a community shop/post office and a primary school (and bus to Crediton for secondary schooling) and a number of sports including football, cricket and tennis are based from the village. It’s worth noting that there’s a regular (several per day) bus service to Crediton and onto Exeter and the Millennium Path links Sandford to Crediton, ideal for off the road walking and cycling between the two.

2 Prospect Place is a historic property within the village and we love the double fronted elevation, finished in cut stone and those incredible windows. It’s Grade II Listed, which is no surprise with the character and history that deserves to be retained and enjoyed. Internally, the property could do with an update, however, the room sizes are generous and full of character. Upon entry through the initial porch, the main room is open plan although with a central staircase, it’s zoned into a living area with a large fireplace and a dining area. The kitchen runs along the back with room for a table and chairs and there’s also a useful utility room providing a ground floor WC. On the first floor are two double bedrooms but please note that the first floor bathroom is only accessed via one of the bedrooms as it stands. There is oil central heating and a multi fuel stove. It’s on mains electric, water (metered) and mains drainage.

Outside at the front, the house owns all of the courtyard parking area and there is a pedestrian right of way across the courtyard to access the property to the right. Immediately to the rear of the house (from the kitchen door) there’s a paved seating area and then steps lead up through the garden with lawn and planting. There’s a block shed and also a pedestrian footpath gives independent rear access. A second, larger area of garden was purchased with the property a number of years ago and from the initial garden, a few small steps up leads to the extra piece. This is a real one off and to have all this garden space in the village is quite a find. The views out over the rooftops are wonderful and it’s a really nice addition to have and sure to be a significant selling point.

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 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.
