Local market context
Longway is a three-bedroom detached house in Shadoxhurst, Ashford, Ashford (TN26 1LE). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D.

Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
