A fantastic detached country house occupying a rural position just to the north of Sandford, large gardens and land to approx. 3.3 acres, outbuildings including double garage and workshop.

DESCRIPTION
Situated in a quiet rural location just 1.5 miles north of the sought after village of Sandford, this detached country house is sure to suit a range of buyers. The house itself has flexible accommodation with ground and first floor bedrooms (plus the possibility to convert the existing first floor store room to another bedroom and en-suite – stp). The stunning vaulted living room with its galleried room adds a uniqueness to the house whilst the boot room and laundry provide the essential space for rural family living. There is a light kitchen/breakfast room which opens into the dining room and the addition of some French doors out onto the garden would really make this room. Most rooms in the house have a dual aspect giving plenty of natural light. The heating is provided by an oil fired central heating system with an additional wood burning stove to the living room.

Outside, the private drive sweeps in from the country lane with ample parking for numerous vehicles plus room for the storage of a motorhome/caravan/horsebox. There is a detached double garage plus workshop (which is in fact linked to the double garage and accessed from the rear or internally). Also a second drive leads to another detached garage which has stores/offices attached to the rear, ideal for home workers or hobbyists. The gardens to the front are secluded and pretty with views over the surrounding countryside and to the rear are gently sloping gardens with a further newly built agricultural building (ideal for machinery or even converted for equestrian use) and land including a productive and established orchard and further paddock. In total the plot amounts to approx. 3.3 acres.

Agents note: There is a public footpath that runs along the western boundary (the opposite side of the driveway hedge) which then cuts across to the hedge line of the orchard. It is rarely used but buyers should be aware.

SANDFORD   is one of Mid Devon's most picturesque villages, being conveniently located approximately 1½ miles north of the busy town of Crediton (8 miles from Exeter).  The village retains a real community feel with the focal point being the village square and Lamb Inn.  There is a post office / store, an Offsted registered playgroup, a highly sought after primary school (senior children are taken to Queen Elizabeths School, Crediton), village hall, a further Inn and historic parish church.  Sandford is well served by sporting clubs with a top quality cricket club, football, tennis and nearby rugby club. From the outskirts of the village, runs the Sandford to Crediton footpath which passes through the Millennium Green, crossing several times over a pretty stream, winding its way up through woodlands and into the outskirts of Crediton.

DIRECTIONS
From Crediton, head north to the village of Sandford and proceed through the village (not turning off to the square). After passing the church on your left, proceed on the lane for approx. 1.4 miles until reaching Coppice Cross (signed to Dowrich and East Village). Turn right and the driveway to the property will be found, first on the right.
