About The Chestnuts

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

The Chestnuts is a detached house in Taunton (TA1 5AP). It has a recorded floor area of 153 m² (around 1649 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (September 2010) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71).
