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.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1995–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £140,000 sits 55.6% above the 2011 sale of £90,000. 15 years since the last transfer (September 2011).

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 2 Barn Close is modelled from its 61 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TA4 2US. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 3 sales are recorded for 2 Barn Close. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 2 Barn Close was lodged in March 2015 at band F and expired in March 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 2 Barn Close. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 2 schools and 11 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TA4 2US, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
2 Barn Close is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
