Sandfield is a detached house in Clophill, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 4BZ). It has a recorded floor area of 512 m² (around 5511 sq ft). The latest certificate (October 2018) returns an A (score 99), the top energy band on the EPC scale. Main heating runs on electricity: electricity, unspecified tariff.
It hasn't traded since January 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area.
