>£1m Wiltshire, England. Castellated Tower For Sale
Sandridge Tower, Wiltshire is For Sale with Strakers.
Crowned with distinctive battlements and rich in Victorian character, Sandridge Tower rises from its woodland perch like a scene from a romantic landscape painting. This castellated tower, dating from around 1840, was originally a folly and is believed to have served as a hunting lodge for the historic Sandridge Estate. Commanding a hilltop position with far-reaching, 360° views over the Wiltshire countryside, the tower is an enduring landmark. Its transformation into a residential home in the 1970s brought additional ground-floor accommodation, seamlessly blending the tower’s period charm with contemporary comforts, including four stylish en suite shower rooms and a luxurious dual-aspect family bathroom.
Inside, the home retains its sense of grandeur while offering the versatility required for modern living. The property has been successfully run as a boutique B\&B, with bedrooms 4, 5, and 6 configured as self-contained suites—though easily incorporated into the main residence if preferred. A large kitchen, featuring reclaimed floorboards and natural stone worktops, serves as the heart of the home. The three reception rooms include a striking octagonal dining room at the base of the tower, while the upper levels of the tower itself provide two further bedrooms and a bathroom—each occupying its own floor and benefitting from the tower’s elevated vantage points.
Approached via a tree-lined driveway, Sandridge Tower is framed by generous grounds that complement its architectural drama. Ample parking sits alongside a charming Garden Room/Studio warmed by a log-burning stove. The gardens are as varied as they are beautiful, with productive raised beds, a greenhouse, a wildflower meadow, and an orchard of apple and pear trees. A small paddock provides further possibilities, while a private seating area shaded by a handmade pergola bursts into seasonal colour with roses and hydrangeas. Behind the home, woodland tumbles down the escarpment to the romantic ruins of a gamekeeper’s cottage, adding yet another layer of history to this exceptional property.
