4 Lower Ashley Road is a two-bedroom detached house in New Milton (BH25 5AD). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2013) shows an F (score 22), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 3-band jump.
