About Bow Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Bow Cottage is a semi-detached house in Williton, Taunton, Taunton (TA4 4PX). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 409 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (December 2010) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from December 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since November 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 38 m² it sits well below the postcode median (68 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £223,000 is 34.7% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£405/sq ft) was about 286.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Bow Cottage is modelled from its 38 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TA4 4PX. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Bow Cottage. 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 Bow Cottage was lodged in December 2010 at band D and expired in December 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Bow Cottage. 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 4 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TA4 4PX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
