" Set along a quiet country lane in glorious rolling countryside is this picturesque, detached, thatched, non-listed cottage with south facing mature gardens of over half an acre. The house dates back to the 19th century, with later extensions.

Location Offering 'the best of both worlds' the property is within the parish of arguably the most sought after village in Mid-Devon however outside of the centre of the village. Sandford has a thriving community with church, village school & pre-school, village hall, two pubs, community post office, shop and garage.

Property The front door leads into a large entrance porch, with ample space for coats and boots with door to a separate cloakroom. The porch leads into the large split level hallway which on one side features an open staircase and the other arranged as a library/ study area with built in bookcase. The hallway dissects the living accommodation with the sitting room to one side and the kitchen and dining room on the other. The sitting room is a large dual aspect room with a feature fireplace and French doors leading out to the garden.

. Across the hall the dining room is a good size room allowing for a family dining table and chairs. Through the dining room is the kitchen, which has recently had some updating and offers all the mod cons expected. There is also a door from the kitchen which leads out to the garden and in fact is the main source of access used by the owners. Upstairs the property has three double bedrooms and two bathrooms (one-ensuite). The house is of four bed proportions and with thought could easily be converted to a four bed house with one bathroom.

Gardens & Grounds There is a pedestrian gate from the road with gravelled path to the rear door. A further five bar gate leads to a tarmac driveway with ample parking. This leads to the detached garage with electrically operated door and power and light supply. The south facing gardens, which lie to the rear of the property, are a real feature of the property. They comprise a wonderful mix of lawns, small coppices, orchard, seating areas, vegetable garden and a huge array and variety of colourful and mature shrub and flower beds. There is a lovely private terrace adjoining the rear of the property, its southerly aspect creates the perfect sun trap, as well as summerhouse and greenhouse. A number of specimen trees on the boundary afford the gardens a high degree of privacy and seclusion. Overall the property amounts to about 0.6 of an acre.

Services Mains electricity, mains water, private drainage, oil-fired central heating.
