Sandleford Priory, Greenham / Newtown - West Berkshire (UA) / Basingstoke and Deane
A mid-late C18 landscape park with waterbodies laid out to designs by Lancelot Brown, surrounding a Gothick house remodelled by James Wyatt. Once straddling the A339 the estate was sold into divided ownership, the house, gardens and core of the park being used as a school. The northern park has been largely developed (housing, waste disposal) leaving the core compromised as a design fragment which in turn is under-resourced in its management. The setting of the house and park and garden is extremely vulnerable to housing and business development potential identified in the Local Plan.
