Full description
Having been held within the same family for some 72 years, this is a very rare opportunity to purchase such a charming detached family home which retains many original features and now requires extensive modernisation throughout. ‘The Moorings’ is located within the Middleton-on-Sea ‘Area of Special Character’, part of the prestigious Sea Lane Estate, and is now offered for sale with the advantage of having no forward chain.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors, measures 1,722 sqft and briefly comprises: entrance hall, a southerly sitting room with original feature fireplace, separate dining room, kitchen with many original features and quarry tiled floor, whilst the original garage was at some stage converted to create a further reception room. Stairs rise to the first floor where the family bathroom, separate WC and all four bedrooms will be found.
Externally, the property has both front and rear gardens. The driveway provides ample parking and leads to the detached garage which is located to the rear of the house and accessed via Merry End. The rear garden enjoys an almost due south aspect and is mainly laid to lawn with mature hedging.
Situation
The Moorings is positioned within the Middleton-on-Sea village centre and within the 'Area of Special Character'. The charming village of Middleton-on-Sea offers a wide range of local facilities including a doctor's surgery, pharmacy, sports/social club, post office and a range of useful shops, café, fish and chip shop and a pub. Nearby attractions include Bognor Golf Club, a sailing club and the unspoilt beach. A regular bus service links the village to Bognor Regis which offers a more comprehensive range of amenities.

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.
