Overview

About Wheel Cottage

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

Wheel Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Bishops Hull, Taunton, Taunton (TA1 5EP). It has a recorded floor area of 188 m² (around 2024 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in June 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 188 m² the property is well over the postcode median (136 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Last sold in February 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. Across 2005–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £568,000 is 35.2% above the 2015 sale price.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Wheel Cottage is modelled from its 188 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TA1 5EP. 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. 3 sales are recorded for Wheel Cottage. 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 Wheel Cottage was lodged in March 2015 at band E and expired in March 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 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 Wheel Cottage. 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 13 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TA1 5EP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Wheel Cottage 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.
