About Castle Cottage
Castle Cottage is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Wiveliscombe, Taunton, Taunton (TA4 2JT). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 763 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include outbuildings. The latest certificate (July 2010) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 64). The latest certificate is from July 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 71 m² the property is well over the postcode median (53 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £201,000 sits 60.8% above the 2013 sale of £125,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£164/sq ft) was about 65.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in January 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
