4 bed detached bungalow for sale

2 Orchard Close, Sandford EX17

Sandford, just a short drive (or even footpath walk) from the market town of Crediton in Mid Devon. Long hailed as one of the more desirable villages in the area thanks to its beautiful countryside, community and pretty square. It’s home to a wonderful community shop/post office, a primary school, pubs, sports teams (football, cricket and tennis) and an active village hall. There’s a bus service to Crediton and Exeter too meaning it’s not isolated. The millennium path runs from the village to Crediton giving year round off the road access by foot or bike into the town.

Located on the edge of the village with far reaching views over the adjoining countryside is Orchard Close, a small cul-de-sac of bungalows and chalet bungalows in a slightly elevated position to enhance the vista. This property is detached and can be found at the head of the cul-de-sac, tucked away at the end with gardens to the side and rear. Due to its position, it certainly benefits from the outlook over the fields and it feels very calm and green from the living room and kitchen windows. There’s uPVC double glazing, Calor central heating and a new kitchen has been installed in the last couple of years. The layout gives a living room (with those views), a kitchen/breakfast room and then two further bedrooms (or one could be a dining room or study) and a shower room on the ground floor. A central staircase gives access to the first floor with two further bedrooms and another bathroom.

Outside, there is driveway parking for two or three vehicles which leads to the garage. The gardens can be found to the side and rear, mainly lawned and easy to maintain with seating areas to enjoy the view.

The property is being sold with no onward chain.

sandford is a civil parish and village 11⁄2 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. For the kids, Sandford has a highly sought after pre-school and a 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, then 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.
