Overview

About 8 Beech Tree Close

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

8 Beech Tree Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Wiveliscombe, Taunton, Taunton (TA4 2PE). It has a recorded floor area of 129 m² (around 1384 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since November 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 129 m² the property is well over the postcode median (76 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £360,000 is 44.9% above the 2009 sale price.
