Overview

About 2 Barn Close

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

2 Barn Close is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Wiveliscombe, Taunton, Taunton (TA4 2US). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. At 61 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (61–67 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to E, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (28 versus a best of 54). The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an F (score 28), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (October 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and main heating went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 63), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
