About Thorncroft
Thorncroft is a detached house in Bishop's Stortford (CM22 6QP). It has a recorded floor area of 210 m² (around 2260 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since July 2002, a hold of 24 years that's notably long for the area. At 210 m² the property is well over the postcode median (113 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
