How the estimate is made
The estimate for Bridge House is modelled from its 265 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales 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 Bridge House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Bridge House is a detached house in Hele, Taunton, Taunton (TA4 1AH). It has a recorded floor area of 265 m² (around 2852 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Held since June 2005 — that's 21 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 265 m² the property is well over the postcode median (83 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 Bridge House is modelled from its 265 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales 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. 2 sales are recorded for Bridge House. 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 Bridge House was lodged in June 2026 at band E and is valid until June 2036. 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 Bridge House. 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. The 5 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TA4 1AH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Bridge House 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.
