The Property
A welcoming entrance hallway with quality LVT flooring – which continues throughout much of the ground floor – provides access to all principal rooms, including a cloakroom cupboard, WC, and integral access to the garage.
To the rear of the hallway is a striking kitchen/breakfast room, flooded with natural light thanks to full-width sliding doors opening directly onto the rear terrace and garden. The kitchen is fitted with a sleek range of two-tone, handleless wall, base, and drawer units, complemented by high-end quartz work surfaces. A central island with breakfast bar provides additional storage and informal dining space. Integrated appliances include a single oven, combination oven, microwave, dishwasher, and full height fridge. A separate utility room offers a full height integrated freezer, further storage as well as plumbing and space for white goods.
Adjoining the kitchen is a spacious living room with French doors to the rear garden and a gas fireplace with a handsome stone surround forming a central focal point.
Two further reception rooms on the ground floor – currently used as a snug and an additional sitting room – provide excellent flexibility and are both enhanced with stylish plantation shutters.
The entire ground floor benefits from underfloor heating.
Stairs rise from the hallway to a generous first-floor landing, which serves four well-proportioned double bedrooms. Four of the bedrooms benefit from fitted wardrobes and are served by a luxurious four-piece family bathroom featuring a large walk-in shower, white panelled bath, and fully tiled walls and flooring.
Two of the bedrooms further benefit from en-suite shower rooms, each comprising a shower cubicle, WC, hand wash basin, heated towel rail, and full tiling throughout.
Occupying the top floor is an impressive guest suite, offering excellent proportions along with a private en-suite shower room and a walk-in wardrobe.
All of the bedrooms benefit from stylish plantation shutters.

Description
The Situation
Barton on Sea is a quiet residential area in a stunning coastal setting with beach and clifftop views across Christchurch Bay, sweeping from Hurst Castle to Hengistbury Head. The sand and shingle beach is ideal for bathing and sunbathing, while the clifftop is ideal for coastal dog walks.
Barton has a history dating back to Anglo Saxon times, however it developed relatively recently. Apart from a row of old coastguard cottages, it mostly comprises avenues and closes of mid-century and modern family homes, chalets, imaginative new builds and substantial houses.
Popular with retirees, Barton has been discovered by young families, attracted by the relaxed outdoorsy lifestyle, with coast on one side and New Forest on the other, plus good state and independent schools; these include Durlston Court and Ballard School, both rated ‘excellent’.
Facilities include clifftop restaurants and Barton on Sea Golf Club, a 27-hole clifftop course. Barton also benefits from the extensive amenities of neighbouring New Milton. Among these are a mainline station with train services to London in around two hours, arts centre, selection of shops ranging from an M&S food store to a traditional department store and weekly market.
