About 5 Ashfield Lane
5 Ashfield Lane is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Milnrow, Rochdale, Rochdale (OL16 4EW). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 90), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
