THE SITUATION

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

You're welcomed into a bright and inviting entrance hallway, which leads to two principal reception rooms and a convenient downstairs shower room/cloakroom.

Continuing through the hallway—with hardwood flooring throughout—a casement door leads into the heart of the home: a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area.

The well-appointed kitchen is fitted with a range of wall-mounted and base units, custom-designed around the range cooker, fridge-freezer, and dishwasher. A central island provides additional storage and workspace. French doors open onto a sunny, south-facing decking area—ideal for outdoor dining. There is ample room for a full-sized dining table, and a cosy snug area with bifold doors opens onto a second private patio.

A separate utility room just off this area adds further practicality.

Upstairs, the open landing leads to three generously sized double bedrooms, including a luxurious principle suite complete with a stylish en-suite shower room featuring a walk-in shower, wash hand basin, and WC.

The second bedroom enjoys a southerly aspect with views over the garden, while the third double bedroom overlooks the front with an easterly outlook.

At the far end of the landing is the fourth bedroom, a versatile space ideal for use as a home office, nursery, or single bedroom, complete with built-in storage.

A modern family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms and features a full-length bathtub with overhead shower, a wash hand basin, and WC.

OUTSIDE
