How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Stonehouse Cottages is modelled from its 114 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TA4 1AH. 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.

About 1 Stonehouse Cottages
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Stonehouse Cottages is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Hele, Taunton, Taunton (TA4 1AH). It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1227 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in May 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on bulk wood pellets. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.
Held since July 2011 — that's 15 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 114 m² the property is well over the postcode median (83 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.

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 1 Stonehouse Cottages is modelled from its 114 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TA4 1AH. 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 1 Stonehouse Cottages. 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 1 Stonehouse Cottages was lodged in July 2014 at band E and expired in July 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 1 Stonehouse Cottages. 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point.
