About 3 Elm Grove
3 Elm Grove is a two-bedroom detached house in Kirby Cross, Frinton-On-Sea, Frinton On Sea (CO13 0HH). It has a recorded floor area of 204 m² (around 2196 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 89). The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
It hasn't traded since October 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time.
