Overview

About 1 Kings Yard

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

1 Kings Yard is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Bishops Lydeard, Taunton, Taunton (TA4 3LE). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1130 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2020) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (May 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 89). Other recorded features include outbuildings.

Held since December 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £273,000 is 27.9% above the 2009 sale price.
