The hamlet of Northwick is situated between the villages of Aust and Pilning and comprises a number of period properties and public house (about 1/4 of a mile away). Sandfords Charity School sits at the centre of Northwick with a south west aspect over countryside.

The property dates from 1842, with later additions. The present owners purchased Sandfords Charity School in 2019 when in an almost derelict condition. The property has since been completely and sympathetically renovated carefully retaining features appropriate to its period. The roof and all windows have been replaced. Emphasis has also been given to renewable energy and state of the art environmentally friendly running costs by providing ground source under floor heating. The electrical specification is extremely high and all windows are double glazed in solid wood frames some with the external original drip stone mouldings. The front elevation is most attractive with three gables.

The interior is beautifully presented. The accommodation has been re-configured and is stunning. All rooms are light with good ceiling heights. All shower rooms and bathrooms are expensively fitted and finished.

A stone and tile porch opens into the open plan kitchen/breakfast/sitting/dining room, which is a most striking room with vaulted ceiling and four exposed roof trusses.

The kitchen/breakfast, with oriel window, is arranged on a stone tiled dais and is fitted with bespoke units. Integrated appliances include induction hob, two ovens, microwave and dishwasher. There is also a small utility area. The sitting and dining areas have a solid wood floor and the original stone fireplace is fitted with a log burning stove. The rear entrance hall has a solid wood floor in a herringbone design. There are three double bedrooms, two with en-suite shower room, and family bathroom, on the ground floor. A turning solid wood staircase rises from the inner hall to the first floor, comprising the principal bedroom with en-suite bathroom.

Self Contained Flat
The detached double garage block with flat above, resembles a most attractive small house, with timber clad elevations under a pitched tiled roof. An electrically operated door opens to the double garage, behind which is a utility area with pedestrian door to outside, and a staircase rising to the excellent flat above with recessed balcony fitted with sheet glass balustrade. The open plan kitchen/living room has a vaulted ceiling and a glazed door opens to the balcony with country views. Integrated appliances include hob, oven, and refrigerator. The current tenant is paying £950.00 per month plus electricity.

A part walled garden, facing west, is a grassed area with a naturally fed pond and mature trees. Immediately behind the property, facing south and west, is an area of level lawn and separated by a low wall, is a large paved area, spanning the width of the rear elevation, ideal for entertaining.
