This distinctive three-storey building, steeped in 'Arts & Crafts' architecture and located in a sought-after position, presents a unique opportunity for investors or renovators looking to capitalize on its potential. With breathtaking panoramic views of the sea, The Rock Hotel is situated at the intersection of Third Avenue and the Esplanade in Frinton-on-Sea, a prestigious coastal resort that attracts visitors year-round.
Constructed around 1900, this property retains many charming original features, including intricately carved oak paneling and classic wooden sash windows that flood the interiors with natural light. The ground floor accommodates a lounge and bar area (with an active liquor license), along with a dining room suitable for approximately 30 guests. A fully equipped commercial kitchen supports operations on this level, alongside two WCs and laundry facilities. Additionally, there is accommodation at the rear overlooking the garden.
The impressive staircase leads to ten guest bedrooms on the upper floors, most of which are en-suite—ideal for further enhancement into high-demand tourist accommodation. The extensive exterior includes parking options and spacious gardens both at the front and rear, providing versatile outdoor spaces.
Existing planning permission permits a change of use from hotel to self-catered tourist accommodation, allowing for flexibility in operations. This property has been owned by the same family since 1977 and still operates as a hotel today, making it an intriguing investment option with potential for significant returns following renovation.
