Taunton's homes, by the numbers
Somerset West and Taunton in the 2021 census: 69,986 households, 84% houses, 16% flats.
Housing in Taunton leans large — close to a third of homes detached and nearly as many semi-detached — reaching from Rowbarton and Staplegrove round to Comeytrowe, Trull and Bishop's Hull, with the villages of Lydeard, Monkton, North Curry and North Petherton beyond. Houses of that size often carry furniture that smaller ones do not.
Taunton is the county town of Somerset, set in the fertile Vale of Taunton Deane. Its housing blends a handsome Georgian and Victorian centre with extensive new-build expansion around Comeytrowe and Staplegrove and rural cider-country villages, producing a broad market from period townhouses to modern family homes seeking quality flooring.
Weight concentrated on a small point is harder on a floor than weight spread wide. A piano leg, a loaded bookcase or a chair dragged back from the table each press into the surface at one spot, and softer materials take a permanent dent where they do.
