About 8 Ashwood Drive
8 Ashwood Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Royton, Oldham, Oldham (OL2 5TW). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1238 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since April 2015. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.
