About Brick Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Brick Cottage is a semi-detached house in Curry Mallet, Taunton, Taunton (TA3 6TD). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 71 m² it sits well below the postcode median (181 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £304,000 is 35.1% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£294/sq ft) was about 29.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 10 years ago, in August 2016.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Brick Cottage is modelled from its 71 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TA3 6TD. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Brick Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Brick Cottage was lodged in October 2015 at band E and expired in October 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Brick Cottage. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 2 schools and 23 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TA3 6TD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Brick Cottage is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
