Sandford, Crediton, EX17

Sandford is one of those villages that people actively look for, not just because it’s pretty, but because it has a real sense of community. With two pubs, a shop, a well regarded primary school and a regular bus service to Crediton and Exeter, it offers the balance of village life and everyday convenience. Add in the footpath linking directly to Crediton and a busy calendar of clubs and events, and it’s easy to see why it’s so popular.

The Old Manse sits right in the heart of the village and offers a huge amount of space, all beautifully presented and ready to enjoy. As a Georgian semi detached home, it has the proportions you’d expect, high ceilings, generous rooms and a natural flow throughout, all of which have been enhanced by the current owners during their renovation.

On the ground floor, a welcoming entrance hall sets the tone, with a comfortable living room on one side and a separate dining room on the other. To the rear, the house opens up into a large kitchen and dining space, a sociable and practical room that has been updated in keeping with the character of the property. A utility room and ground floor bathroom add to the practicality, with a door leading out to the garden.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors, offering a high degree of flexibility. On the first floor are four double bedrooms along with the family bathroom, while a half landing provides an additional WC. The top floor offers two further bedrooms, which could equally serve as hobby rooms, studies or additional living space depending on needs.

Outside, the south facing rear garden is a real bonus, offering a mix of lawn, planted beds and a raised seating area. There are also useful sheds and a modern garden room with power, ideal for working from home or as a studio space. While the property does not have its own parking, there is a free village car park a short walk away, along with additional on street parking nearby.

For a home of this size, in this location and presented to this standard, The Old Manse represents exceptional value and offers a rare opportunity to secure a substantial village property with space to grow into.

SANDFORD is a pretty and popular village lying, as it does, about a mile and a half north of Crediton and just nine and a half miles from Exeter. The centre of the village sits around the square where both The Lamb Inn and the community-run village stores and post office can be found. For outdoor pursuits, the village also has two recreation grounds, a tennis court, and a dedicated footpath/cycle path that takes users safely off road to Crediton. A thriving community also ensures plenty of activities are going on throughout the year many of which centre around the well-patronised village hall. The primary school (OFSTED Good) offers wrap around care and a pre-school nursery welcoming 3- to 5-year-olds, and is another draw for families seeking a small but vibrant environment in which to raise their children.
