The town centre has a strong selection of shops, among them butcher, bakery, M&S Food and a traditional quality department store. Leisure facilities feature an arts centre with a programme of performances and workshops, health and sports centre with pool, recreation ground and skatepark. Eating out experiences range from gastropubs to fine dining via The Kitchen, a relaxed restaurant and cookery school at Chewton Glen Country House Hotel overseen by TV Chef James Martin.

New Milton developed after the arrival of the railway in the late 19th century (train services into London take around two hours), therefore property choice comprises some character property, modern family homes on tree-lined avenues, and country houses bordering the New Forest.

Upon entering through the front door, you are welcomed into a useful porch area, ideal for coats and shoes. An inner door leads directly into the stylish and contemporary kitchen/dining space, a wonderful hub of the home featuring a part-vaulted ceiling and Velux window that floods the room with natural light.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall-mounted and floor-standing units with wraparound worktops, an inset sink positioned beneath a window overlooking the front garden, extractor hood over the hob, and a selection of built-in appliances. There is a four-seater dining room table fixed to the wall, ideal for entertaining. 

From here, a door leads into the bright and inviting living room, positioned on the south side of the property and centred around an attractive fireplace. French doors open into a delightful conservatory, stepped down from the lounge, with south-facing windows on two sides overlooking the rear garden - an ideal seating area with further doors providing direct garden access. Returning to the kitchen/dining area, a door leads into the inner hallway, which provides access to the ground floor bedroom.   

This versatile room can be used as a bedroom or additional reception room and benefits from a built-in utility cupboard housing the washing machine and offering additional storage. A rear-facing window enjoys views over the south-facing garden, and a door leads through to the en-suite shower room, comprising a shower cubicle, wash hand basin, and side-aspect window. From the inner hallway there is also a WC, further storage cupboard and a staircase rising to the first floor.

The first-floor landing gives access to the remaining accommodation. Bedroom two is a generous double room which currently fits a super king bed with built-in wardrobes, plentiful storage, and a Velux window to the south aspect allowing plenty of natural light. Bedroom three is another good-sized double room with a rear-facing window overlooking the garden. Bedroom four is a double room, currently arranged as a study, with a Velux window providing a front aspect. Completing the first floor is the family bathroom, fitted with a bath, separate shower, WC, and wash hand basin.

The property is approached via a level pathway leading to the front door, bordered by a low hedgerow and a lawn laid to grass. A side pathway leads to a secure gate providing access to the rear garden. The rear garden is a particular feature of the home, occupying a generous plot and enjoying a sunny south-facing orientation. Immediately adjoining the property is a patio area, currently home to a pergola, hot tub, and sauna - an excellent space for entertaining. Steps lead down to two areas of lawn, positioned to the left and right, both bordered by mature hedging and shrubs, with a shed located within the garden.

There is also direct access into the conservatory, and the garden enjoys a pleasant outlook onto woodland beyond the rear boundary, enhancing the sense of privacy and tranquillity. There is also a garage in a separate block and an allocated parking area.
