Linhay Park, Sandford, EX17

Sandford is a thriving village with an active social scene. The village hall holds events throughout the year and is the base for many clubs and societies to meet. There are two lovely village pubs and a wonderful community shop and post office in the heart of the pretty square. The village has its own primary school and a school bus links to QE in Crediton. Being only 2 miles north of Crediton, it’s well located, surrounded by rolling countryside without being too far out. Exeter is a short 25 minute car journey and there’s a regular bus service with a few daily options.

Linhay Park itself is towards the edge of the village and is a cul-de-sac development of 2, 3 and 4 bedroom houses, originally built in the 1990’s. It operates an LPG system shared to all the houses which essentially works like mains gas with each house being metered separately, and as there’s no mains gas in the village, it’s a good system. No.2 is a mid-terraced property with 3 bedrooms. The layout is somewhat traditional with an entrance hall with WC and then the kitchen/breakfast room at the front and a living/dining room across the back opening onto the rear garden. On the first floor are the 3 bedrooms and the family bathroom. The house would benefit from some cosmetic updating but this is down to personal preference. There’s the LPG central heating and timber double glazing.

To the front, it’s set back from the cul-de-sac road by a level front garden and to the rear, the back garden has decking and lawn, surrounded by timber fencing. There’s a pedestrian gate at the end of the garden which gives separate rear access from the parking/garage area where No.2 owns a garage with up and over door (it’s the second garage in from the left).

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.
