Overview

About Ludbrook Cottage

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

Ludbrook Cottage is a semi-detached house in West Lyng, Taunton, Taunton (TA3 5AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 869 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2011) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, main heating went from Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 55). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 81 m² it sits well below the postcode median (156 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). 15 years since the last transfer (November 2011). Across 1995–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £294,000 is 47% above the 2011 sale price.
