About 4 Ashdown Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

4 Ashdown Road is a mid-terrace house in Wakefield (WF1 5LU). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B.
