Situation    Second Marine Avenue is a road that links through to Marine Drive East which is the coastal road. The property fronts Second Marine Avenue but sides onto Marine Drive East, giving panoramic sea views across to The Purbecks to one side and the Isle of Wight to the other. Barton Cliff, the golf course and the coast are all nearby and New Milton, with its more extensive shopping facilities and main line railway station, is less than a mile to the north. To the east is the coastal village of Milford on Sea (approximately 3 miles), with yachting facilities at Keyhaven (approximately 3.5 miles) and at Lymington (approximately 6 miles). There are a wide range of walks onto the open countryside and coast, in particular the mostly road-free walk along the coast and cliffs to Milford on Sea and onto Hurst Castle, a total one-way trip of some 5 miles. The New Forest is approximately 3 miles to the north of the property.

Description    We understand that Raginnis was constructed in the mid-1980's but has been extensively refurbished by the current owners. New double glazed windows and external doors were fitted in 2008, a new Aga and Worcester Bosch condensing boiler have also been installed. Security shutters to the two first floor south-facing rooms have been fitted and extensive refurbishment of the first floor includes new wardrobes and two new bathrooms. All the carpets and curtains are replaced (available at valuation). The property, which is built of brick with part tile hung elevations under a tiled roof, has bright and airy rooms and an internal inspection is highly recommended.

Agents Note    As an option, the vendors are prepared to sell their Beach Hut on the shore at Barton on Sea, for an additional cost to be agreed.
