About Cothelstone

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

Cothelstone is a detached house in Bishops Lydeard, Taunton, Taunton (TA4 3UD). It has a recorded floor area of 162 m² (around 1744 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1983-1990. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in August 2012 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
