Get started2 Elder Cottage is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Hatch Beauchamp, Taunton, Taunton (TA3 6TH). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1087 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. At 101 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 3 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 58–109 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the top. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since July 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Sale prices here have outpaced England HPI: 8.8% per year against 0% for the wider region.
