About 26 The Thrums

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

26 The Thrums is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Watford (WD24 6DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump.
