The estimate for 2 Horner Cottages is modelled from its 32 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TA4 3HA. 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.

2 Horner Cottages is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bishops Lydeard, Taunton, Taunton (TA4 3HA). It has a recorded floor area of 32 m² (around 343 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2010) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 58). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since January 2007 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 32 m² it sits well below the postcode median (194 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £256,000 is 40.3% above the 2007 sale price.
2 Horner Cottages's EPC is over a decade old — improvements since won't be reflected.
