About 1 Pondtail Lodge
1 Pondtail Lodge is a semi-detached house in Kirby Cross, Frinton-On-Sea, Frinton On Sea (CO13 0LF). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1141 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. At 106 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 4 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 60–107 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (January 2025) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76).
It hasn't traded since November 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 106 m² it's 19.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (89 m² median across 13 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £210,000 is 40% above the 2008 sale price.
