Sandford, Crediton, Devon, EX17 4PS

Description A composed and quietly commanding four-bedroom detached residence, The Tremlett enjoys an elevated setting with far-reaching views across a wildlife pond and adjoining seven-acre paddock—an outlook that anchors the home firmly within its natural surroundings.

Constructed with precision and a clear architectural intent, the house delivers a refined balance between contemporary design and the softness of the surrounding countryside.

The result is a home that feels both considered and effortless.

Entry is through a dramatic double-height, vaulted hallway where immediate sightlines extend to the garden beyond, complemented by a galleried landing above.

To one side, a sequence of practical spaces—cloakroom, boot room and utility—has been thoughtfully arranged.

To the other, the house opens into an impressive 32ft kitchen and dining space, designed as the central point of daily life.

Beyond this, a series of flexible rooms unfold: a snug or playroom, a dedicated home office, and a separate drawing room.

Both the principal reception space and the kitchen dining area connect seamlessly to the south-facing garden via wide sliding doors, encouraging an easy relationship between inside and out.

The kitchen is finished with a restrained yet elevated palette—solid wood shaker cabinetry, quartz work surfaces, and a full suite of integrated appliances by NEFF and Caple—delivering both function and quiet sophistication.

Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms are arranged with careful consideration. Two benefit from en suite bathrooms, while the principal suite is further enhanced by a walk-in wardrobe.

Bathrooms are finished with porcelain tiling from Mandarin Stone and contemporary chrome fittings, maintaining a consistent level of detail throughout.

Environmental performance has been carefully integrated into the fabric of the home.

Underfloor heating to the ground floor is powered by an air source heat pump, complemented by solar panels, MVHR ventilation, and high-performance triple glazing.

Together with an EV charging point, these features contribute to the home’s exemplary EPC A rating.

Externally, the property is completed by a single garage, ample parking, and a generous wraparound garden—offering both privacy and space, and reinforcing The Tremlett’s identity as a considered and enduring family home.
