Overview

About 16 Douglas Drive

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

16 Douglas Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Plymouth (PL9 8LR). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D.
