About Ashton Court
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Ashton Court is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Taunton (TA1 4LX). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2023) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 4 certificates since October 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average and main heating went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. At 55 m² this is the 4th smallest of 12 units on EPC record in Ashton Court, where floor areas span 51–61 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 12 units on file. Other recorded features include a balcony and notable views.
It hasn't traded since March 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £150,000 sits 284.6% above the 1997 sale of £39,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£66/sq ft) was about 64.8% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs).

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Ashton Court is modelled from its 55 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TA1 4LX. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Ashton Court. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Ashton Court was lodged in September 2023 at band E and is valid until September 2033. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Ashton Court. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 16 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TA1 4LX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Ashton Court is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
