DESCRIPTION Middleton Park was designed for the 9th Earl of Jersey by world- class Architect Edwin Lutyens, who achieved externally traditional accommodation with up-to-date interiors for the household and staff. Grade II* Listed Cedar Lodge was designed to house chauffeurs accompanying Lord Jersey's guests and it now offers a beautiful family home. Adjacent to the main house and set in 40 acres of grounds approached via a long tree lined avenue, the accommodation is arranged over four floors and has been renovated and improved by the present owners to create a spacious and comfortable home. The entrance hall provides access to the basement and cloakroom as well as to the dining room which in turn leads to the kitchen and sitting room. The basement is split into 3 separate areas providing flexibility for a number of different uses. An elegant original staircase leads to the first floor with the master bedroom and two further bedrooms, one with en-suite shower room, and a family bathroom. Following the staircase to the second floor there are two further bedrooms, a family bathroom and a utility room. To the exterior is a delightful private garden with well stocked flower and shrub borders and a double garage located close by within a communal garage block. Residents enjoy the use of the extensive private grounds including an outdoor heated swimming pool with changing facilities, tennis court and a croquet lawn. The park also has a 200 year-old cricket ground, a beautiful and evocative addition to this stunning setting.
