About properties for sale in Sandford, Devon
Located no more than a 5-minute drive from its sister-community of Crediton, Sandford offers very similar types of homes to its larger sibling. Prospective buyers get to choose from brand new eco homes waiting for their first occupants, a selection of graded and period homes, terraced houses, and a handful of barn conversions, a popular choice in Devon.
With a population roughly 10 times smaller than Crediton, which isn’t exactly a metropolis to begin with, Sandford offers its residents a real shot at a peaceful village lifestyle, complete with easy access to large open spaces, a strong sense of community, and a complete lack of traffic jams.
While you might have to travel out of town to enjoy certain leisure activities or to buy items not available in Sandford, Crediton is within walking distance on a nice day (35 min) and features pretty much anything you won’t find in Sandford, including sports and social clubs, a leisure centre, and larger stores.
As one of the Devon towns closest to Exeter, Sandford is popular with single professionals, young families, and retirees looking to enjoy the UK countryside while still having easy access to the city.
