The Meadows, New Milton, BH25

Situated in a highly sought-after enclave of Barton on Sea, this deceptively spacious, three-bedroom semi-detached residence offers light-filled, flexible accommodation tailored for effortless, low-maintenance living. Built to a high standard by Coltens, the home combines modern comfort with absolute peace of mind for buyers aged 55 and over, benefiting from a 24-hour Careline system and manicured communal surroundings. Offered for sale with no onward chain, this home presents a rare turn-key opportunity in a prime coastal location. 

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 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.
