About Elburcoombe House

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

Elburcoombe House is a four-bedroom detached house in Plymouth (PL9 8EG). It has a recorded floor area of 174 m² (around 1873 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.
