The Square, Sandford, EX17

Situated in the heart of the ever-popular village of Sandford, Lamorna enjoys a prime position on The Square, within easy reach of the shop, pubs and school. Sandford is a welcoming community with lots of regular events and clubs making good use of the village hall and contributing to make a vibrant and active village. Crediton is just five minutes away and offers a wide range of everyday services including supermarkets, independent shops, cafes and a mainline train station with direct links to Exeter and beyond. The Cathedral City of Exeter is around 10 miles away and offers excellent shopping, dining and leisure opportunities, along with superb transport connections by rail, road and air.

Although not instantly obvious, Lamorna was built in the 1980s and has formed part of the village square ever since. It was well designed and built and offers spacious and comfortable accommodation across two floors. With double glazing, oil fired central heating and a relatively modern build, it gives the opportunity of characterful village life with a more up to date construction than many of the local alternatives.

In from The Square and the generous entrance hall creates a great sense of arrival with its double height ceilings and gives access to all of the principal rooms. The kitchen is modern and well-fitted with a range of units, integrated appliances and ample work surfaces, with a dining room just off to one side - ideal for everyday family life or entertaining. Some may wish to open these two rooms into one. The adjoining sitting room is a particularly bright and comfortable space, with French doors opening out in to the garden. Also on the ground floor are a useful WC, utility/boot room and direct internal access to the garage. Upstairs, a large galleried landing provides space for a reading area or home office. There are four double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes. A family bathroom and a separate shower room complete the upstairs layout, offering flexibility for a growing family.

To the rear is a west facing garden which over the past 30 plus years has been lovingly maintained, offering a private and peaceful outdoor space with a level lawn, mature borders and a potting shed. It can be accessed from the sitting room or via a gated path from the driveway. Adjoined to the side of the house is a double garage with light and power, plus driveway parking for two cars. The garage could offer potential for conversion (subject to any necessary planning consents) for those looking to create additional living, annexe or work-from-home space.

CREDITON is a vibrant market town with a bustling high street full of independent shops, eateries, and pubs. In recently years a diverse arts scene has grown to include all manner of mediums, with the performing arts making use of the town’s market square where, in the summer months, a range of activities take place. The market square is also home to the town’s twice-monthly-farmer’s market. The town has an equally significant past. It was originally the first Bishopric in Devon and the imposing Parish Church of The Holy Cross now stands where once stood Devon’s first Saxon cathedral (909-1010AD). It is also the birthplace of Saint Boniface, one of the founding fathers of the Christian Church in Europe. Easily commutable to Exeter and with two primary schools, a secondary school with sixth form as well as a wide range of necessary amenities, it’s clear why the town is a firm favourite with locals and relocators alike.
