Full description

Flint Cottage is a handsome Grade II listed residence believed to date from the 1840’s. This property is situated in an enviable location on the private Sea Lane Estate, within the designated ‘area of special character’, and just a ‘stones throw’ of the beach making it an ideal holiday home or main residence. This property is now offered for sale with the advantage of no onward chain and provides the new owners with a blank canvas for modernising and improving the property. However, the property has been recently re-roofed, the sash window part renovated and much of the previous cosmetic decoration stripped back to bare walls and ceilings by the current owners.

The accommodation measures 1,450 Sq Ft (1,894 Sq Ft in total including the outbuildings and double garage) and briefly comprises: on the ground floor, an entrance lobby with cloakroom/WC, sitting room, separate dining room, inner hall/study area and lastly the kitchen. On the first floor, there are three bedrooms and a bathroom/WC.

Outside, the gardens are a notable feature of the property and enclose the property to three sides. There are lawned areas, a vegetable garden and courtyard garden, which enjoys a south-westerly aspect. There is also an outbuilding for storage, which contains a utility area, shower room/WC and garden shed. Accessed off Sea Way is a driveway providing parking and which leads to a double garage via the remote roller door which provides added security.

Private Estate Charge: We understand the private estate charge is £190 p.a. (Annual Residents’ Association Fee).

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.

Middleton-on-Sea is within easy reach of Chichester and Bognor Regis and is a perfect setting for family life. We have two local schools, including the Bishop Tufnell Primary School and the Felpham Community College for secondary students, along with a day nursery for pre-school children. We also have a good range of shops for such a small village, including coffee shops, a Post Office, a family butcher, a general store, newsagent, fish and chip shops, gift shops, a florist and some friendly pubs.

At low tide, Middleton-on-Sea’s sandy beach stretches from Littlehampton to Bognor Regis and is a favourite for local dog walkers and those who enjoy the fresh air and tranquillity of the sea.  Elmer Sands, a mile east of Middleton, is a particular beauty spot, enhanced by the interesting rock islands that were built as a sea defence two decades ago and which have left rock pools and safe areas for swimming and beginner water sports. Over in Felpham you’ll find beachfront cafés, the Arun Leisure Centre, which has a swimming pool and a well equipped gym, and public tennis courts next to the Promenade.
