About Bickenhall Farmhouse
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Bickenhall Farmhouse is a detached house in Bickenhall, Taunton, Taunton (TA3 6TX). It has a recorded floor area of 331 m² (around 3563 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 331 m² the property is well over the postcode median (93 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£196/sq ft) was about 27.5% below the postcode norm. Last sold in August 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2009.

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 Bickenhall Farmhouse is modelled from its 331 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TA3 6TX. 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 Bickenhall Farmhouse. 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 Bickenhall Farmhouse was lodged in May 2016 at band F and expired in May 2026, 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 Bickenhall Farmhouse. 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 1 school and 19 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TA3 6TX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Bickenhall Farmhouse is in council tax band F. 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.
