The place is a good example of a federation era home which retains some original features. The place was constructed on land granted to John Septimus Roe in 1829 and lived in by his descendants.
Now forming part of Mandoon Estate Winery the homestead is on the banks of the river surrounded by mature plantings and rural landscape, Sandalford Homestead is a single-storey brick residence with a wrap around verandah to the front and side elevations. The brick walls have been rendered. The roof is corrugated iron hipped roof with at least two brick chimneys remaining. Internally the building has been adapted into a small gallery. The verandah has been reconstructed.
Sandalford, Swan Location L, was one of the first rural grants in the Swan Valley, and among the first in the State. Sandalford Winery has been producing grapes on the same site since around 1907, and wine on the site since the 1940s. Sandalford Homestead is associated with John Septimus Roe, who was allocated Swan Location L, and with his descendants who built the property and the associated winery.
