Overview

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). Today's modelled estimate of £902,000 is 29.2% above the 2016 sale price. 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.
