Full description
This beautiful character residence occupies an enviable position within the private Sea Lane Estate, just a short distance from both the beach and local village facilities. Combining the charm of a thatched cottage whilst providing generous accommodation throughout, this property would be equally suited as a family home or coastal weekend retreat, and is now offered for sale with the advantage of no onward chain.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors and measures 2,519 sqft (2,763 sqft including the attached garaging). The ground floor briefly comprises: spacious entrance hall with WC. To the left of the entrance hall is the snug, which in turn leads to the conservatory and generously proportioned sitting room, with both rooms enjoying views over the delightful gardens to the rear of the property. Also from the entrance hall, the grand dining room sits at the heart of the property and leads on to the study and kitchen beyond. The kitchen boasts an adjoining breakfast room and benefits from a separate utility room with door onto the driveway.
The first floor provides four bedrooms, with the impressively sized principal bedroom benefiting from an en-suite bathroom with separate shower and twin basins. Three further bedrooms will be found along with a shower room.
Outside, the grounds measure 0.36 of an acre and offer a high level of seclusion in all directions. The gardens wrap around the property and have been thoughtfully designed to include areas of established flower beds and mature shrubs, as well as a former vegetable garden with fruit trees, timber shed and greenhouse.
Private Estate Charge: We understand the private estate charge is approximately 255 p.a.
Situation
The development of modern Middleton began after World War I and was largely the achievement of Captain Coldicott around the early 1920's. Later development of the estate was continued by the Linfoot family but always with a preference for well spaced properties using traditional designs and materials which is still evident today. The Sea Lane estate is now recognised as an 'Area of Special Character' and is regarded as being a highly desirable location.Council Tax Band: G

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.
