About Ashcroft Farmhouse

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Ashcroft Farmhouse is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Mollington, Chester, Chester (CH1 6LH). It has a recorded floor area of 196 m² (around 2114 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (September 2009) shows a G (score 16), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to F (score 28). Main heating runs on lpg.
