About Little Shamba
Little Shamba is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Bishops Hull, Taunton, Taunton (TA4 1AG). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1238 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views. The home occupies a corner plot.
Today's modelled estimate of £206,000 sits 415% above the 2013 sale of £40,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£32/sq ft) was about 56.6% below the postcode norm. At 115 m² it sits well below the postcode median (247 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last sold in December 2013, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
