Sandy Acre is a three-bedroom detached house in Althorne, Chelmsford, Chelmsford (CM3 6BT). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1184 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E.

It hasn't traded since August 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area.
