Local market context
12 Church Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bishops Lydeard, Taunton, Taunton (TA4 3AT). It has a recorded floor area of 140 m² (around 1507 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2020) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2009. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good, lighting went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
It hasn't traded since July 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 140 m² the property is well over the postcode median (72 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £317,000 sits 252.4% above the 1998 sale of £89,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£60/sq ft) was about 69.8% below the postcode norm.
