About Jubilee Cottage
Jubilee Cottage is a detached house in West Lyng, Taunton, Taunton (TA3 5AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 176 m² (around 1894 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since September 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 91), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Most recent transfer: July 2021 at £675,000. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 176 m² it's 28.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (137 m² median across 7 EPCs).
