7 Bedroom Cottage in Middleton

Staying at this seaside manor house overlooking the sweeping waters of Morecambe Bay offers friends and family a truly memorable coastal escape. With uninterrupted views and direct access to the shoreline, you can begin each day with a bracing sea-air stroll, beachcombing along the coast, or simply enjoying coffee on the terrace as the tide rolls in. 5.5 miles away, Morecambe provides classic seaside charm, with attractions, cafes and a promenade perfect for an easy-going afternoon. For a dose of history, head 8.5 miles to Lancaster, where you can explore the striking Lancaster Castle, wander cobbled streets and enjoy the city’s independent shops and restaurants. Golf enthusiasts will be particularly well catered for, with several excellent courses nearby. Nature lovers can venture 10 miles to the Forest of Bowland National Landscape or plan a bigger day out to the Lake District National Park (25 miles) for iconic lakes, mountain hikes and unforgettable scenery.

Following a £3 million investment and two years of meticulous conversion, the property has been transformed into an exceptional holiday residence. Thoughtfully refurbished with cutting-edge contemporary design while remaining sensitive to its Grade II listed heritage, it blends historic grandeur with every modern indulgence. On the ground floor, a stunning open-plan kitchen forms the heart of the house, complete with a breakfast bar and a huge dining table seating 20 guests. The adjoining lounge, centred around a sleek contemporary fireplace, creates a welcoming setting for gatherings and celebrations – enhanced by a fully integrated surround sound system that flows throughout the entire property. For quieter moments, a cosy reading nook provides a peaceful corner away from the festivities. Ground floor accommodation includes two twin rooms (one en-suite), a family room with five single beds and an en-suite shower room, a triple bedroom, a family room with two king-size beds and an en-suite shower room, and a separate bathroom with bath and shower attachment. A dedicated cinema room just off the main hallway invites movie nights. Upstairs, a WC and two magnificent master king-size suites await, each with four-poster beds and en-suite shower rooms. There is also an extraordinary vaulted ‘day space’ – an open-plan casino, games room, nightclub and bar complete with arcade machines, disco lights, smoke machines, full surround sound and even an Insta Live wall – an outstanding entertainment hub within your own private manor.

Outside, the grounds are equally impressive. A private heated hot tub sits alongside outdoor dining areas and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with masonry BBQ, stone pizza oven, fire pit and gazebo. Secure gated access and parking for up to 15 vehicles ensure convenience for larger groups. There’s also a children’s play area and bike hire available. The Manor commands breathtaking 360-degree vistas across the Irish Sea and surrounding countryside. Adding to the experience is a private leisure suite, available exclusively to guests from 4.30 pm to 11.30 pm, comprising a full-size indoor heated swimming pool, sauna, massage room, gym and changing facilities – all complemented by a surround sound system.
