Overview

About Copster Farm

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

Copster Farm is a three-bedroom detached house in Mellor, Blackburn, Blackburn (BB2 7QB). It has a recorded floor area of 477 m² (around 5134 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band H. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. The latest certificate (September 2012) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (September 2010); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average.
