5 Ashford Road is a semi-detached house in Chelmsford (CM1 2ST). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83).
