Full Description: Sandfords Charity School is mid Victorian, Grade II Listed school house conversion, dating from 1842, which the present owners purchased it in 2019 and has since been completely and sympathetically renovated carefully retaining features appropriate to its period. The conversion gave great emphasis to renewable energy and state of the art environmentally friendly running costs by providing ground source under floor heating, new electrics, a new roof and double glazed windows in solid hard wood.

A stone and tile porch opens into the open plan kitchen/breakfast/sitting/dining room, with its striking vaulted ceiling and exposed roof trusses. The kitchen/breakfast room, with oriel window, is fitted with bespoke units and integrated appliances including 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. On the ground floor there are three double bedrooms, two with en-suite shower room, and family bathroom. A solid wood staircase rises from the inner hall to the first floor, comprising the principal bedroom with en-suite bathroom and eaves loft storage.

In addition there is a detached double garage block with a self-contained flat above. An electrically operated door opens to the double garage, behind which is a utility area with a staircase rising to the excellent flat on the first floor. The open plan kitchen/living room has a vaulted ceiling and a glazed door opens to the balcony with country views. There is a separate double bedroom and a bathroom.OutsideImmediately in front of the property is parking for four cars.
