About 2 The Shires

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

2 The Shires is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Waterrow, Taunton, Taunton (TA4 2BA). It has a recorded floor area of 157 m² (around 1690 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band E.
