Positioned directly on The Esplanade and adjacent to Frinton's Greensward, this substantial Victorian detached house offers 2,764 sq ft of characterful family accommodation with direct sea views from several rooms. High ceilings, original fireplaces, sash windows and generous room proportions create an airy, traditional interior ideal for family living and entertaining. The property includes a master suite with sea views, an internal lift, three further reception rooms and a conservatory, giving flexible space for home working, hobbies and guests.
Outside, the large south-facing front garden, veranda and private seafront balcony maximise the coastal aspect; a long rear garden, shingled courtyard, greenhouse, detached garage and gated driveway provide excellent outdoor space and parking. The location is a key draw — a short walk to Connaught Avenue and Frinton’s Blue Flag beach, with local schools, shops and amenities close by.
Buyers should note material points of investment: the EPC rating is F, heating is oil-fired with boiler and radiators, and the property has solid brick walls with assumed no cavity insulation and secondary glazing. The house is largely traditional in construction and will benefit from thermal and energy improvements; these works should be budgeted for. Council Tax Band G makes ongoing running costs relatively high.
For families seeking space, period charm and a prime seafront address, this home presents significant character and scope to modernise while retaining original detail. For purchasers prioritising energy efficiency or low running costs, planned upgrades to insulation and heating will be advisable.
