Overview

About Meadow Cottage

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Meadow Cottage is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Great Holland, Frinton-On-Sea, Frinton On Sea (CO13 0EX). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in May 2011 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 74 m² it sits well below the postcode median (156 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last changed hands 10 years ago, in November 2016. Across 2011–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £294,000 is 20% above the 2016 sale price.
