Frinton art deco home with sea views listed for £1.3million

Perched above one of Essex’s most coveted stretches of coastline, this five-bedroom detached home in Cliff Way, Frinton, is a rare chance to own a piece of architectural history.

Designed with unmistakable art deco influences by renowned architect Oliver Hill, the house’s gently curved façade and clean lines give it real presence on the seafront, while expansive glazing makes the most of the uninterrupted coastal panoramas.

Inside, a spacious entrance hall flows through to an open-plan kitchen-dining space, where broad windows frame the ever-changing seascape beyond.

The beautifully crafted kitchen has been finished with entertaining in mind, linking neatly to a utility room and out to the landscaped rear garden and the perfect setting for summer suppers.

The ground floor also includes a well-proportioned guest suite, complete with its own generous en suite – ideal for visiting family who will be queuing up for a weekend at the seaside.

Upstairs, the heart of the home is a striking entertaining room, where full-height bi-fold doors peel back onto a balcony, opening up sweeping views of the greensward and shimmering coastline.

From here, three further double bedrooms radiate off, each carefully positioned to drink in the outlook, while the principal suite enjoys its own private balcony and a luxuriously appointed en suite bathroom.

A contemporary family bathroom and a dedicated laundry room complete the first-floor layout, keeping practicalities neatly tucked away.

Outside, the west-facing rear garden is a tranquil haven, with mature planting, immaculate lawns and colourful borders that catch the best of the evening sun – perfect for al fresco dining or simply watching the sky change over the water.

To the front, the property commands elevated views across the seafront, with easy access to miles of sandy beach and coastal walks that help make Frinton one of the county’s most desirable – and peaceful – resorts.
