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 popular with dog walkers while the cliff top attracts paragliders.

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.

THE PROPERTY

Upon entering, you are welcomed into the entrance hallway, which provides access to the ground floor accommodation. The bright but cosy living room features a bay window to the front and a built-in real flame gas fire, either side of two small stain glass original feature windows, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

To the rear of the property is the spacious open-plan kitchen/dining/family room, which is fitted with a range of base and eye-level units, complemented by polished Resin work surfaces. The kitchen includes an integrated eye-level oven, built-in microwave, and dishwasher. A practical utility/storage area is located at the rear of the kitchen, with access to the front of the property. Double doors from the kitchen lead to the sunroom, offering views of the rear garden through its surrounding double-glazed windows, creating a bright and airy space. Double patio doors from the sunroom open directly into the garden.

From the entrance hallway, a door leads to the master bedroom, which is generously sized and located at the front of the property. It offers a great range of fitted bedroom furniture and a walk-in wardrobe, which could potentially be converted into an ensuite. Also off the central hallway is a downstairs shower room, featuring a walk-in shower, WC, wash hand basin, and access to an airing cupboard. Across the hallway is bedroom four, which benefits from hard flooring and a window with a side aspect.

From the open-plan family room, a staircase leads to the first floor, where two further double bedrooms are located. Both rooms have eaves storage and are served by a modern bathroom, complete with a shower over the bath, WC, bidet, and wash hand basin.

OUTSIDE

At the front of the property, a brick-paved driveway offers ample parking, both at the front and down the side of the property, which is secured by two wooden gates. The driveway continues towards the rear of the property, where the garden and single garage are located. A purpose-built garden room with a pitched roof is attached to the back of the single garage. The garden room has windows and double doors opening into the rear garden, with an internal door leading into the garage.

From the main property the sunroom opens out to a beautifully covered  outside dining area, featuring a recently timber constructed pitched roof extending seamlessly from the sunroom.

At the bottom of the garden, there is a patio area with a useful summer house/storage shed and a hedge boundary, adding to the privacy and charm of the outdoor space.
