Sandleford is a hamlet in the civil parish of Greenham, in the West Berkshire of Berkshire, England. It adjoins the southern outskirts of the town of Newbury. Sandleford Priory was anciently a monastery, dissolved in 1478. The former monastery was largely rebuilt in the 18th century as a country house also called Sandleford Priory, incorporating the remains of some of the old monastery buildings. A civil parish called Sandford existed until 1934, when it was absorbed into the parish of Greenham.
