Fleetside is an exclusive four double-bedroomed family house of some 6,000sq ft. set in grounds of approximately 1.5 acres which in the valuers opinion, is one of the biggest inside of the gates. Fleetside is situated in the most prestigious road in Frinton-On-Sea. There is a simple reason why this particular road is so acclaimed: it is the only Avenue with a no-through road, and yet is just a ten-minute walk from the seafront. The house is enhanced by beautiful views that stretch over the countryside to Great Holland; the Cricket and Tennis Clubs and distant views towards the sea.
Fleetside is an individually designed residence built in 1994 and designed by renowned architect Chris Betts from Purcell Miller Tritton. Whilst designing the house, the architect wanted to create a building that allowed the beautiful countryside views to flood into the home and become a part of it. He also wanted a property that was unique to the others in the road and yet blended with them at the same time. This was achieved by creating a property of two halves; whilst from the front it looks modern and sleek; from the back garden it resembles a French chateau with its wooden balconies, terrace and turret. This style is enhanced by the stunning cathedral style window to the front, which allows light to flood into the house.
This is a house with the WOW factor.
The current vendors have improved the property further by combining smaller rooms into one. They have created a modern family environment with larger, open rooms such as the kitchen/diner, which now has a central Chesney's log burner. This naturally divides the kitchen from the dining area and allows it to be enjoyed by all the family. The Master bedroom now benefits from a large walk-through dressing room and En-suite bathroom. There is also a balcony and turret where you can enjoy peaceful views at any time of the year, looking over the fields to Gt Holland Church.
There is plenty of diversity in this home, with quiet places such as the rear balcony (where you can sit and enjoy a glass of wine whilst enjoying the stunning views over the garden and countryside) and the lounge with a feature turret. There is, on the other hand, an area for family and friends; on the lower ground floor you can walk directly onto the large garden patio to enjoy a summer barbecue on the terrace. If desired - and with just a few minor changes - the lower ground floor could easily be made into annexe accommodation.
In the Valuer's opinion, Fleetside has been built to a high specification to include an Oak staircase and Junckers wooden flooring. As previously mentioned the property is set in grounds of approximately 1.5 acres and is set back from the road, with an in/out sweeping driveway and triple garage giving copious amounts of off road parking. The secluded rear garden slopes away from the house towards a stream at the bottom and enjoys a sunny south/westerly facing aspect. The mature gardens were landscaped in 1935 by renowned horticulturalist Percy Cain and the current owners have made sure that the gardens now resemble the original layout. These beautiful gardens are stocked with flowers, shrubs and a variety of trees and it is here that you can enjoy the most spectacular sunset. There is a large sunny terrace with a spiral staircase leading up to the main balcony. Frinton has a mainline station with links to London Liverpool Street, making the property ideal for the commuter.
