About 22 The Esplanade
22 The Esplanade is a detached house in Frinton On Sea (CO13 9AU). It has a recorded floor area of 275 m² (around 2955 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 45).
