For Sale5 Bedroom Detached House in Cambridge Road, Frinton-on-Sea£1,000,000

SELLER'S INSIGHT Carlotta was built in 1901 when the farm land was divided into plots for housing. The design was chosen to resemble a villa in Italy by the couple who bought the plot and had been diplomats there. It was built as a holiday home, the owners lived in London bringing servants with them, hence the butlers pantry , now used as a photo gallery.The top floor , including the tower was used for the servants and they had a sitting room downstairs. I was fortunate to meet the grandson of the last inhabitant before we bought it 42 years ago. She was the daughter of the first owners and lived here until she died . He was able to tell us that the garage was built for a Rolls Royce, the panelling in the dining room came from a church in London and that all the rooms had bells for summoning the servants. Some of the rooms still have them but the board had gone from the kitchen when we bought it. The last inhabitant , I believe, was a former mayor of Hamstead and had been a debutante, it would be easy to check. Frinton in its early days was visited by the rich and famous including film stars and Winston Churchill.  OVERVIEW ** GUIDE PRICE OF £1,000,000 to £1,350,000 ** Welcome to Cambridge Road, an exquisite sanctuary nestled in the heart of Frinton-on-Sea offering a mesmerizing view overlooking the coastline.
