4 bedroom detached house for sale

For Sale by Public Auction.

Nestled in the highly sought-after village of Middleton, this rarely available split-level detached residence occupies an established private plot of approximately one acre, enjoying stunning views across the Welland Valley.

Designed and built in the 1970s by the family who still own it today, this unique home offers spacious and versatile accommodation. The layout includes a reception porch, entrance hall, cloakroom/WC, and living room with impressive far-reaching views and beautifully maintained tiered gardens. There is also a dining room, fitted kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, side porch, two ground floor bedrooms, and a shower room. From the inner hallway, stairs lead down to the lower level where two further bedrooms and a family bathroom can be found.

Externally the property is set within wraparound gardens which are a particular highlight with a variety of established trees and plants offering privacy. There is a substantial driveway with access to the external garage and garden room which has the benefit of services including power, lighting and a water connection, with a log store positioned to the rear. The gardens also feature several terraced seating areas, two lawned sections, a swimming pool with pool house offering dressing and sauna facilities, a garden pond, storage areas and a well.

Whilst the property would benefit from a programme of modernisation, it presents an exciting opportunity for home-occupiers, investors, and developers alike to acquire a substantial home in a desirable rural setting with outstanding views.

The purchaser shall be deemed to bid on those terms whether he shall have inspected the Conditions or not.

The sale of this property will take place on the stated date by way of a live, in-room auction and is being sold as Unconditional with a Fixed Fee. Some sellers may consider a pre-auction offer, and the Lot may be sold or withdrawn before the auction.
