Bicknoller market report TA4 1, Taunton
The TA4 1 (Bicknoller) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 3,920 sales registered with HM Land Registry in TA4 1 (Taunton) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 35 registered 2026 sales put the TA4 1 (Taunton) median at £276,000, up 2% on five years earlier, with a mean of £304,600, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,240 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 3,920 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
TA4 1 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside TA4 (Taunton). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

What TA4 1 homes really sell for
The TA4 1 median stands at £276,000 for 2026, built from 35 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £304,600, a little above it, the familiar pattern where pricier homes stretch the average.
TA4 1 prices by floor area
A square metre of TA4 1 home has cost about £3,240 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so TA4 1 trades 3% below the country as a whole.
The price of a typical TA4 1 home, 1995 to 2026
Year by year: the median as it was recorded, and the same figure brought into today's money with ONS CPIH, which is where "did homes get dearer" actually gets answered. Hover shows each year; the legend isolates a series.

In cash terms the typical TA4 1 home went from £80,000 in 1995 to £276,000 in 2026, roughly 3.5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 59%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 28% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the TA4 1 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2012 (+24.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2013 (−22.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What TA4 1 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −15.9% | −17.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.5% | −4.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.3% | −1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.7% | −1.1% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
TA4 1 recorded 35 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 203 sales a year before the financial crisis and 109 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
What tenants pay around TA4 1
For renting purposes TA4 1 sits in Somerset. The ONS average private rent there is £990 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £674 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,580, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Somerset
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £276,000 median sold price, £990 a month is £11,880 a year, a gross yield of 4.3%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
The shape of the TA4 1 market
This is a thin market: 35 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Bedroom by bedroom: TA prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the TA area. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £300,000 | £390,000 (+30%) | £570,000 (+46%) | £775,000 (+36%) |
| Semi-detached | £220,000 | £255,000 (+16%) | £295,000 (+16%) | £375,000 (+27%) | £492,500 (+31%) |
| Terraced | £190,000 | £220,000 (+16%) | £246,000 (+12%) | £325,000 (+32%) | £433,750 (+33%) |
| Flat | £127,000 | £167,500 (+32%) | £220,000 (+31%) | — | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
