Sandfield is a detached house in Clophill, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 4BZ). It has a recorded floor area of 512 m² (around 5511 sq ft).

It hasn't traded since January 2008, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
