Full Details for 3 Bedroom Detached for sale in Crediton, EX17 :
DESCRIPTION The Old Police House is a super example of a nicely refurbished period detached house, situated in the heart of this incredibly sought after village, just a short walk from two foody pubs and the very highly regarded primary school as well as the local post office stores, church, children’s playpark, football pitches and village hall.
The spacious accommodation includes two good sized reception rooms offering much flexibility to the next owners, with an option for a ground floor (4th) bedroom if desired. There are lovely touches like parquet flooring, exposed stonework walls, mosaic floor tiles at the main entrance and two wood-burning stoves. There is also a lovely kitchen diner with granite worktops and an electric five ring ‘range style’ cooker, plus an attached utility room and downstairs shower room with WC. Heading up the handmade wrought iron and ash staircase to the first floor, there are three double bedrooms and an upstairs white suite family bathroom with a wonderful four clawed free standing bath. The property also benefits from oil fired central heating.
Outside there is an attractive, level and enclosed garden of 42\‘ 8\‘\‘ x 21\‘ 4\‘\‘ (13m x 6.5m) which has areas of lawn and a slightly raised decked seating area, ideal for outside dining and barbecues. The house also has a garage slightly up Fannys Lane.
DIRECTIONS From Crediton, proceed into the village and up Rose and Crown hill. Follow the road up around the bends (ignoring the road into the square) and the Old Police House will be found on the right opposite the church.
SANDFORD is a civil parish and village 1½ 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 16th Century 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.
