Listed building description 16 Warley Way was designed in 1934 by Oliver Hill and built the following year as one of the Estates 50 planned show homes in modern movement style. It is essentially a mirrored version of 4 Audley Way, both following the standard design Hill developed for many of his Frinton Estate houses. Its ground floor comprised a large living room with a dining recess, a kitchen and maid's bed-sitting room. The first floor contained three double bedrooms (two opening on to sun balconies), two single bedrooms and a separate bathroom and lavatory. Subsequent alterations to the house, including the removal of the original metal-framed casement windows and tubular steel balcony rails, were reversed in the late 20th century. The house was part of the Frinton Park Estate, developed from 1934 onwards and intended as a planned residential township but this was never realised due to lack of public support for flat- roofed houses. Now interspersed with other buildings the estate nevertheless represents the largest group of Modern Movement houses in the country. House was photographed in 1997 House listed in March 2024 <1> <2>
