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.

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.

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.

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.
