Full description
Nestled at the very heart of Middleton village centre and within the village’s ‘area of special character‘, this charming cottage boasts an impressive 1,653 sqft of accommodation (1,956 sqft including the brick built workshop).
Converted by the present owners from the former village tea rooms and restaurant, this property has been improved throughout and is now beautifully presented, combining modern convenience with classic charm. The ground floor features three main reception rooms, the sitting room with its iconic bow window, a separate snug/playroom, and lastly the dining room which opens into the kitchen to the rear of the property. A modern wet room and toilet complete the ground floor.
The first floor features three well-appointed bedrooms as well as a spacious study area on the landing which could easily be separated off to provide a 4th bedroom if desired. The principal bedroom is generous in size and features a range of fitted wardrobes along with a luxurious en-suite featuring a free-standing bath and separate shower cubicle. Both bedrooms 2 and 3 also feature storage, whilst the modern family bathroom completes the accommodation.
Stepping outside, the property provides off-road parking to the front of the property, whilst the rear garden is of a generous size and offers a high level of privacy. The rear garden itself is mainly laid to lawn with a sizeable area of patio, recently erected fencing with raised sleeper-borders and a timber shed. The rear garden also contains a brick built garage which has received planning approval, granted in May 2022, for conversion into ancillary accommodation.

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.
