Lyon Avenue, New Milton, BH25

A substantial three/four-bedroom detached chalet bungalow occupying a sought-after position in Lyon Avenue, New Milton, with a particularly attractive and well-established rear garden forming one of the key features of the property. The accommodation is both generous and versatile, currently laid out with two separate reception rooms, a conservatory, kitchen/breakfast room and utility room, together with three further bedrooms upstairs and a detached double garage.

The Property

The ground floor is arranged around a central hallway and offers a well-balanced mix of reception and practical living space. To the front of the house, the sitting room is a particularly generous size and extends into a bay window, creating a bright and comfortable main living area with plenty of room for larger furniture.

From here, the accommodation flows through into the dining area, creating a sociable and flexible space for family meals and entertaining. The dining area in turn opens into the conservatory, which provides a further extension of the living space and enjoys a pleasant outlook towards the garden.

The kitchen/breakfast room is positioned to the rear of the property and is well proportioned for everyday family use, with space for informal dining alongside the main kitchen area. A separate utility room sits conveniently alongside, adding valuable storage and workspace and helping to keep the kitchen itself uncluttered.

Also on the ground floor is an additional reception room, adding further flexibility to the accommodation. This versatile space could be used as a family room, snug or home office, while also offering the potential to serve as a comfortable guest room when required. The nearby shower room makes it particularly practical for visiting guests or multi-generational living.

Upstairs, there are three further bedrooms arranged off the landing. The principal bedroom is notably spacious and with both bedrooms to the front having dormer windows, this creates a bright, comfortable feel. All bedrooms are well-proportioned doubles.

A family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation.

Grounds & Gardens

The rear garden is a real strength of the property and adds significantly to the overall appeal of the home. Well established and offering a good degree of space, it provides plenty of scope for outdoor seating, entertaining and family use, while also giving the house an attractive green outlook from the rear-facing rooms.

A substantial double garage sits separately from the main house and provides useful parking, storage or workshop space. Together with the generous internal accommodation, the garden and ancillary space make this a particularly versatile home with approximately 1,542 sq ft of internal accommodation.

The Situation

New Milton sits in a prime location with the New Forest to the north and Barton on Sea to the south. This market town attracts families, drawn by its strong community, range of facilities, mainline station and schooling provision.

There are acclaimed independent schools, including Durlston Court and Ballard School, both rated ‘excellent’, while state schools include New Milton Infants judged ‘outstanding’, New Milton Junior rated ‘good’, and Arnewood Secondary which is ‘good’ with ‘outstanding’ 16-19 study programme.

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.
