About 5 Ash Road
5 Ash Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Rochester (ME2 2JL). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2013) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since May 2010. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump.
