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 £572,000 is 36.2% above the 2015 sale price.
