Overview

About 2 Lyddons Cottage

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

2 Lyddons Cottage is a semi-detached house in Curry Mallet, Taunton, Taunton (TA3 6SY). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows an F (score 26), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (March 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
