About 221
221 is a semi-detached house in Staple Fitzpaine, Taunton, Taunton (TA3 5SW). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 827 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows a G (score 6), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to E (score 40), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in June 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 77 m² the property is well over the postcode median (49 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
