About 8 Grasmere Gardens
8 Grasmere Gardens is a detached house in Kirby Cross, Frinton-On-Sea, Frinton On Sea (CO13 0SX). It has a recorded floor area of 118 m² (around 1270 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £354,000 sits 785% above the 1998 sale of £40,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£31/sq ft) was about 83.7% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
