Overview

About Whitty Cottage

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

Whitty Cottage is a detached house in Curland, Taunton, Taunton (TA3 5BD). It has a recorded floor area of 159 m² (around 1711 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average and main heating dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 99), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 159 m² the property is well over the postcode median (110 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £577,000 sits 64.9% above the 2014 sale of £350,000. On the market in October 2014 and unlisted since — roughly 12 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2016.
