Full description
Nestled at the very heart of the village centre and within the ‘Area of Special Character‘, this charming and iconic Middleton cottage boasts an impressive 1,874 sq ft of accommodation.
Previously converted 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 with exposed brick floor and feature fireplace, 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.
Stepping outside, there is a detached self-contained, brick built studio with its own shower room, WC and kitchenette/utility. Ideal for a variety of uses including guest accommodation, rental income or office space for those working from home. This building has been recently re-roofed and has permission for the loft space above (currently used for storage) to be converted to create further accommodation if desired.
Back inside, 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 another 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 two and three also feature storage, whilst the modern family bathroom completes the accommodation. The property also benefits from a water softener.
The property provides ample 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.

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.
