Station Road, Sandford

On arrival at Crossways House you enter an attractive walled front garden with established flower borders and a stone chipped pathway leading to the entrance door. As you cast your first gaze of the property you cannot fail to be impressed by the grand symmetrical façade that greets you with its traditional sash style windows and pretty decorative stone lintels.

Entering the property you arrive at an alluring entrance hallway with a beautiful polished flagstone floor, and an elegant period staircase that rises to the first and second floors. Beneath the staircase a door leads down to an incredibly useful cellar with plenty of storage space and lots of potential. To the left of the hallway lies the main sitting room, a well proportioned room that features a handsome period fireplace which is inset with a cast iron wood burning stove, a plethora of features can be found in the room including ornate coving, ceiling rose and dado rail, along with working shutters to the sash window and polished wooden floorboards.

To the opposite side of the hallway is very much the heart of the home, the superb dual aspect kitchen/dining room. This alluring room has recently been much improved by our current owners who have installed a stunning hand-built, hand painted kitchen. The classic design of the kitchen cabinets compliments the era of the property and yet also adds a chic designer element to the home.  The kitchen features a solid Oak countertop, double Belfast sink, glazed display cabinet, 'Smeg' oven, integrated dishwasher and space for a fridge/freezer. There is a lovely alcove to the side wall where a further freestanding unit provides even more storage space, and a cast iron fireplace with a marble hearth that provides a homely focal point. Polished wooden floorboards can also be found throughout the kitchen/diner, along with a number of other period features.

Moving onto the first floor you will find the first two of the properties four double bedrooms, along with a smart family bathroom, the generously proportioned rooms enjoy a light and airy southerly aspect with views out over the beautiful Grade II listed All Saints Church. 

The properties two remaining bedrooms can be found on the second floor and are again excellently proportioned rooms where light floods through from the south facing dormer windows to the front and Velux windows to the rear. The rear Velux windows also allow you enjoy far reaching views over the village and surrounding countryside.

The property is blessed with three distinctive garden areas, including a south facing walled front garden that has been professionally landscaped in recent years and is mainly laid to lawn with a variety of shrubs and plants. A neat gravelled path leads round to the rear of the property to an enclosed rear garden area perfect for drying your washing or as a handy shaded space to avoid the mid day heat. Outside of the walled front garden a shared driveway leads to off-street parking for a number of cars and a substantial double garage/workshop with large double carriage doors. This exceptional space offers huge scope to create a workshop or a self-contained annexe or Air B&B (subject to the necessary consents). To the side of the garage a pathway leads to an additional enclosed private garden area that enjoys a high degree of privacy. Ideal as a home allotment or to keep a few chicken it also has huge potential to be landscaped to a further ornamental garden for the family to enjoy.
