4 Abbotsfield Cottages is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Wiveliscombe, Taunton, Taunton (TA4 2TE). It has a recorded floor area of 136 m² (around 1460 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2009) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 60).
