Key features
Full description
Located within the village of Middleton-on-Sea and occupying a desirable position within the private Harefield Estate, ‘Oak Hatch’ beckons both seasoned investors and visionary homeowners alike. Boasting 1,532 sqft of accommodation, this detached house offers plenty of potential for creative modernisation as well as the potential for extension, subject to the usual permissions.
Aside from the sought-after location, the main highlights include the three first floor double bedrooms as well as the three reception rooms, including the sitting room with its feature fireplace. The conservatory has been added in the past to the rear of the property creating the additional reception space along with a WC, which complements the bathroom and the separate WC on the first floor.
Outside, the generous grounds are mainly laid to lawn with mature hedges and trees. At the end of the garden is the detached garage and store with a driveway which is accessed from First Avenue. Subject to permissions, we believe there may be potential to replace the garage and create a detached annexe at the bottom of the garden.
While the house awaits a transformative touch to unlock its full potential, its location within the highly sought-after Harefield Estate ensures both exclusivity and tranquillity.
Private Estate Charge: We understand the private estate charge is approximately £240 p.a.

Why live in Middleton-on-Sea?
The development of modern Middleton began after World War I, when Captain H Rowlands S Coldicott purchased great swathes of farmland with a plan to create both a residential estate and a village community.
This led to the development of the private Sea Lane Estate, which is still a sought-after residential area today thanks to its proximity to the sea and local shops. There are also many pretty thatched properties in the area along with small retirement apartments, bungalows and large family homes that enjoy direct access to the sea while, in neighbouring Felpham, we have the glorious private Summerley Estate.
