Offering well-balanced accommodation, attractive communal gardens, a private south-facing patio area and the added benefit of a garage.

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 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 on leafy Barton Common Road.

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.

The apartment forms part of a well-maintained development of just four residences, creating an exclusive and peaceful setting. A secure communal entrance with video entry system leads to the apartment, where a welcoming entrance hall provides useful built-in storage.

The impressive sitting/dining room is a particular highlight, offering an abundance of space for both relaxing and entertaining while enjoying a bright southerly aspect. Double doors provide direct access to a sunny patio, which forms part of the attractive communal gardens and creates an ideal spot for outdoor seating.

The well-appointed kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of units and integrated appliances, providing both practicality and ample workspace for everyday living.

Both double bedrooms are generously sized, with the principal bedroom featuring an extensive range of fitted wardrobes together with the luxury of an en-suite shower room. A separate family bathroom serves the second bedroom and guests alike.

The beautifully maintained communal gardens extend to both the front and rear of the building, with the south-facing patio offering a wonderful place to enjoy the sunshine. The property also benefits from a detached garage with power, an electric up-and-over door and a pitched roof providing additional storage potential.

Combining spacious accommodation, excellent outside space and an enviable coastal location, this chain-free apartment presents a fantastic opportunity for those looking to enjoy life by the sea.
