6 bedroom detached house for sale

Middleton Barn is a wonderful family home, includes a self-contained detached cottage and has been lovingly refurbished and remodelled by the current owners whilst retaining many of the original features such as exposed timber beams and original fireplaces. The property is now offered for sale with the advantage of no forward chain and enjoys an enviable position located within the highly desirable Sea Lane Private Estate and within a short walk of both the beach and the village centre.

In total the property measures 3,880 sqft including the main house, detached annexe, workshop, garage and outbuildings. The main house briefly comprises: a well-proportioned living room with wooden parquet flooring, a fireplace with limestone surround and a log burner, and double doors leading on to the light and airy south-facing conservatory. The impressive 22ft kitchen/breakfast room has been fitted with shaker-style units, a breakfast bar, integrated appliances by Samsung, space for an American style fridge/freezer, corner stove and French doors opening onto the rear garden. The adjacent utility room is well equipped with an array of additional storage and space for appliances. The large dining room has a lovely box bay window overlooking the rear garden and there is also a generous study/5th bedroom on this level. Stairs from the entrance hall rise to the first floor where the generous principal bedroom has a dressing room and en-suite shower room. All three additional bedrooms have built-in storage, including a walk-in wardrobe or storage room in the second bedroom. The well designed and high quality bathrooms are also of particular note.

"The Piggery" is a separate single storey cottage and includes a 17ft sitting room, large fully equipped kitchen/breakfast room, double bedroom, shower room and storage cupboard. This well designed conversion is served by electric underfloor heating, and hot/cold air conditioning units in the sitting room and bedroom. The adjoining outbuildings could offer scope to extend the annexe, subject to the relevant planning consents.

The property is set centrally within its generous 1/3 acre plot, with areas of lawn, patios, paved pathways and colourful flowerbeds surrounding the house and offering lovely views from every window. The ornamental pond is set to the side of the house, whilst to the rear there is a generous oak framed outdoor kitchen-entertaining area and hot tub. Behind this, the large shed provides ample storage for garden furniture and tools, whilst elsewhere a separate studio is insulated and tucked away providing a quiet haven, ideal for hobbies. Within the grounds a private well is linked to an irrigation system providing water for the garden. A gate from the garden gives access to the sports club via the cricket pitch, ideal for those lazy summer afternoons. The driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to the garage and adjacent workshop.
