1 Hillside Road is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Coundon, Bishop Auckland, Bishop Auckland (DL14 8LS). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve.
