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). The latest certificate is from September 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 153 m² the property is well over the postcode median (105 m² across 20 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £506,000 is 44.6% above the 2012 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£212/sq ft) was about 20.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in March 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 The Chestnuts is modelled from its 153 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TA1 5AP. 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 The Chestnuts. 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 The Chestnuts was lodged in September 2010 at band D and expired in September 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to The Chestnuts. 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 22 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TA1 5AP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- The Chestnuts is in council tax band F. 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.
