Full description
Nestled in the very heart of the picturesque seaside village of Felpham, this delightful three bedroom terraced cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of coastal history. Built circa 1861 by the Admiralty to house coastguards and their families, the property forms part of an iconic terrace steeped in heritage and character.
Beautifully positioned just moments from the beach and village amenities, the cottage blends period charm with comfortable living, making it an ideal full-time residence, holiday home, or investment opportunity. It is also offered with the advantage of no onward chain.
The ground floor welcomes you with a south facing sitting room featuring attractive wood flooring and a charming wood-burning fireplace, with direct access to the conservatory and garden beyond. To the front, a well-appointed kitchen offers a practical setting. The kitchen itself overlooks the front courtyard and provides ample space for a range-style cooker, fridge/freezer and washing machine.
On the first floor, all three bedrooms are well-proportioned and thoughtfully arranged, accompanied by a family bathroom, completing the accommodation.
Outside, to the front, the property is approached via a gated courtyard, where you will find a useful outside toilet and storage area. Crossing the courtyard leads to the main entrance of the cottage, adding to its character and sense of privacy.
The rear garden enjoys a desirable southerly aspect and is designed in a low-maintenance courtyard style, providing an ideal space for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply relaxing in the sun.
A private footpath provides direct access to Felpham beach, as well as the delightful selection of cafés and places to eat that line the seafront.

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.
