DESCRIPTION Beacon House is a most attractive Grade II listed detached traditional Devon thatched cottage located on the extreme outskirts of the small quiet hamlet of Newbuildings well away from busy main roads, just a few minutes drive from the town of Crediton and sought after village of Sandford. The property stands high and commands magnificent rural views across rolling countryside with hills of Exmoor in the far distance.
The cottage offers spacious 4 bedroomed family accommodation full of old world charm and character having a wealth of period features, and has been much improved and extended recently by the present owners including the creation of a new master bedroom with en-suite shower (although there are some works still required to finish off but these are mainly of a cosmetic nature).
Outside the property has a delightful cottage garden to the front which takes full advantage of the fine views, a rear garden which has various outbuildings including two garages, two timber buildings and a small stable, plus off road parking for several cars. Adjoining the side of the cottage is a pony paddock (having its own vehicular access) which is believed to extend to approximately 0.3 of an acre.

Sandford is well served by sporting clubs with a top quality cricket club, football, tennis and nearby rugby club.
