About Ring Cottage
Ring Cottage is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Great Holland, Frinton-On-Sea, Frinton On Sea (CO13 0EU). It has a recorded floor area of 126 m² (around 1356 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (May 2021) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since July 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £335,000 sits 103% above the 2009 sale of £165,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£122/sq ft) was about 18.8% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2025. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. At 126 m² it's 27.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (173 m² median across 3 EPCs).
