THE PROPERTY

A private staircase leads to the entrance, opening into a thoughtfully designed kitchen that overlooks the garden. This well-equipped space includes a double oven, electric hob, built-in slimline dishwasher, and washing machine, offering both style and functionality.

The spacious living room is filled with natural light, with a patio door leading to a south-facing balcony—perfect for enjoying the sunshine.

The fully tiled bathroom includes a bath with an overhead shower, a WC, and a washbasin. A privacy window allows natural light while maintaining seclusion.

Also on this level, a bright double bedroom overlooks the front of the property. Large bay windows fill the room with light, and fitted storage provides practical convenience.

Stairs ascend to the dual-aspect principle bedroom, a unique and characterful space with built-in storage. Overlooking both the front and rear gardens, this charming retreat offers a wonderful sense of space and tranquillity.

THE SITUATION

Highcliffe on Sea (or simply Highcliffe) sits on a high bluff above a beautiful stretch of sand and shingle beach. This small leafy coastal town, straddling the Dorset/Hampshire border, is best known for Highcliffe Castle, an ornate early Victorian mansion, once home to Mr Selfridge and now an events venue. Its grounds enjoy outstanding views across Christchurch Bay towards the Isle of Wight while footpaths head off to a wooded nature reserve or zig-zag down to the beach.

Highcliffe is ideal for those searching for a relaxed yet smart seaside lifestyle. A high street of useful independent shops includes a bakery and gourmet grocery. Highcliffe also nurtures a foodie reputation with an annual food festival and tasty selection of cafes, gastropubs and restaurants.

OUTSIDE

The south-facing garden is a real highlight—generously sized and primarily paved, with a lawned area at the rear. It also includes a fully insulated garden shed, ideal for conversion into a home office or for use as additional storage.

Living in Milford on Sea

Milford on Sea is currently a property hot spot. It is one of the last remaining seaside villages in Hampshire and is delightfully picturesque with a proper village green at its centre. This green is often the focus for popular village events such as maypole dancing and the annual food festival and is fringed by a range of independents (including antiques shops, butcher’s, chemists and greengrocer’s). Recently Milford has developed something of a reputation as a foodie destination with its collection of tea rooms, bistros, wine bar, fish and chips and specialist fish restaurant, plus more.

This is a vibrant village with a friendly and lively community, and appeals to both young families (the primary school has been rated ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted) and older couples looking for somewhere on the coast to relax. The old-fashioned seafront stretches from Hurst spit and Keyhaven nature reserve in the east towards Christchurch Harbour to the west, and enjoys lovely views across the Solent to the Isle of Wight and the Needles.

A good mix of properties includes striking contemporary seafront homes and cliff top apartments with big sea views, quaint terraced old fishermen’s cottages and some substantial 1920s and 1930s Ravenscroft arts and crafts influenced homes in and around Barnes Lane.
