About 16 Foxglove Drive
16 Foxglove Drive is a detached house in Etherley Dene, Bishop Auckland, Bishop Auckland (DL14 0TH). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1249 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2013) returns a high B (score 88), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating.
