Description
Sandridge Tower is a late 19th-century folly that has been converted into a house. It is constructed of ashlar and features an octagonal shape with four storeys. The tower has one window on alternating sides, and the pointed door, which has a hood mould, is now located within a flat-roofed 20th-century extension at the front and sides. The windows consist of pairs of pointed arched casements, each with a square drip mould above. There is a plat band at the fourth floor, and the roof is topped with a battlemented parapet. A buttress is present on the west side at the third floor. The interior was not accessible during the survey conducted in June 1984.
