The building is entered via a well-maintained communal entrance, with entry phone system, stairs and lift rising to the second floor. The private front door opens into a welcoming entrance hallway, providing a useful sense of space from the outset, along with excellent storage.

The principal living room is a superb room of generous proportions, offering ample space for both seating and freestanding furniture. Doors open directly onto the private balcony, which enjoys a pleasing outlook and side views towards the sea, creating a wonderful setting for morning coffee or evening drinks.

A separate dining room provides further flexible living space, ideal for entertaining, and leads through to the kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen offers a practical range of fitted units, work surfaces and appliance space, with room for casual dining.

There are three generous double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom being particularly spacious and benefitting from its own en-suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are also well proportioned and are served by the family bathroom.

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.
