The Copse is a four-bedroom detached house in Yealmpton, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL8 2NB). It has a recorded floor area of 206 m² (around 2220 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (January 2010) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 68), a 2-band jump.
