TA4 2 is one sector of TA4 (Taunton): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

Today's TA4 2 prices, from the sold record
The TA4 2 median stands at £270,000 for 2026, built from 27 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £382,400, a long way above it, which tells you a few very expensive sales are pulling the average up.
What a square metre costs in TA4 2
Measured by floor area, the last five years of TA4 2 sales average about £3,360 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.
Set against the £285,000 England and Wales median, TA4 2 sits 5% below the national market.

In cash terms the typical TA4 2 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £270,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 148%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 39% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the TA4 2 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 2001 (+39.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−22.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −16.6% | −18.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −3.9% | −8.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.7% | −2.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.6% |
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.
Sales activity in TA4 2
The year-by-year sales count
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 2 recorded 27 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 81 sales a year before the financial crisis and 61 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.
Reading the TA4 2 market
Only 27 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes TA4 2 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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. Against the TA4 district median, TA4 2 sits 8% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
What homes rent for around TA4 2
The local authority for TA4 2 is Somerset, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £990 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £674 a month here against £1,580 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Somerset
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £270,000 median sold price, £990 a month is £11,880 a year, a gross yield of 4.4%: 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.

What is for sale in TA4 right now
This is what you could actually buy today: 187 homes currently on the market from 9 agents publishing to HomesIndex.

The price of an extra bedroom in TA
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the TA area. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| 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%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
