About Bow Cottage
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 £205,000 is 23.9% 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.
