Set on Frinton’s seafront, this generous one-bedroom ground-floor flat offers sweeping south–south‑westerly views over the greensward to the sea. The apartment sits in a late Victorian red-brick building with high ceilings, ornate communal areas and a private veranda that captures evening sun. The layout includes a large lounge/diner, fitted kitchen, double bedroom and a tiled shower room with underfloor heating.
Practical highlights include off-street parking, communal gardens, double glazing and a secure ground-floor position for easy access. The property is sold for the over‑55s market and benefits from a private storage shed and mains utilities; broadband and mobile signal in the area are strong.
Important considerations: the flat is leasehold with approximately 77 years remaining. Many mortgage lenders will be reluctant to lend with this lease length, so buyers should check financing options or consider cash purchase. The annual service charge is circa £4,000 and heating is by individual electric heaters rather than a central system — both affect running costs. The building has solid brick walls (assumed no cavity insulation) and an Energy Performance Rating of E, so further investment may be needed to improve thermal efficiency.
This home will suit a buyer seeking a sea-front retirement apartment with character and immediate enjoyment of views, who understands the leasehold and running-cost realities and is prepared to manage or fund any energy-efficiency upgrades.
