THE SITUATION

This property is ideally suited for those searching for a relaxed yet smart lifestyle. Highcliffe offers a street full of independent shops and a foodie reputation, with an annual food festival coupled with an array of beach and cliff top restaurants, all of which are in easy reach.

Highcliffe sits on a high cliff above a beautiful sand and shingle beach. This is easily accessed from the property at Highcliffe Castle, where there is an outstanding view across to the Isle of Wight. Footpaths here lead to the nature reserve, with both a sloping pathway or steps to the beach. Additional leisure facilities include Highcliffe Golf Club and Highcliffe Bowls Club, which are both nearby.

Transport links range between regular bus routes in the direction of both Lymington and Bournemouth; as well as train links at Hinton Admiral Station towards Bournemouth and Weymouth or Southampton and beyond.

OUTSIDE

The rear garden has been thoughtfully designed for ease of upkeep, offering a generous patio bordered by mature shrubbery and a brick wall, thus creating a private and sheltered setting. There is a rear gate giving access to an area of trees and shrubs alongside the roadside parking.

A garage is located in a separate block, which is accessible along a footpath from the front of the property. A further shed for tools is located in the back garden.

THE PROPERTY

A spacious entrance hall welcomes you into the home with a Dijon limestone flagstone floor with underfloor heating that extends through into an enlarged kitchen. There is also a cloakroom with basin and WC.

The living room is bright and inviting, with a generous bay window overlooking the professionally maintained front garden and communal green. A refined carved wooden fireplace, inset with an electric fire with a marble hearth and surround.

From here double casement doors open into the dining room, a comfortable and versatile space, large enough to have easy chairs adjacent to the French doors, leading to the garden. This room is ideal for entertaining or every day living.

The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of base, wall and deep drawer units. The new configuration has greatly increased storage capacity and included a breakfast bar. There is a new four ring electric hob and also a single oven with grill. Further appliances include a large oven with fan, built-in fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine.

Living in Highcliffe on Sea

Highcliffe on Sea (usually simply called Highcliffe) is a small, leafy coastal town on the Hampshire/Dorset border. West of Barton on Sea and east of Mudeford, Highcliffe is perfectly positioned for those in search of a relaxed yet smart beach lifestyle.

Features include secluded Highcliffe Beach which has panoramic views over Christchurch Bay to the Isle of Wight and Hengistbury Head. It’s a favourite with locals for walking, paddleboarding and surfing and can be reached via a pathway zig-zagging down through the gardens of Highcliffe Castle, once home to Mr Selfridge and now the venue for varied concerts, exhibitions and fairs.

Further outstanding amenities include Highcliffe Castle Golf Club and Steamer Point Nature Reserve. In addition Highcliffe has foodie appeal thanks to the annual Highcliffe Food & Arts Festival, and a good selection of independents and eateries, such as family-owned butcher’s, beachfront cafes, Raymond Blanc’s brasserie-style gastropub The Oaks and, just up the road on the edge of the New Forest, luxurious Chewton Glen Country House Hotel.

Families are also drawn by the schooling. Local primaries and secondaries are judged to be at least ‘good’ according to Ofsted – including Highcliffe St Mark’s Primary and Highcliffe Secondary School and Sixth Form. Meanwhile local independents include Durlston Court and Ballard, both rated ‘excellent’ by the Independent Schools Inspectorate.

The New Forest lies three miles to the north, the nearest sizable town is Christchurch (also three miles), and there is good accessibility via the road network to Lymington (nine miles), Bournemouth (10 miles), and Southampton (21 miles). A mainline railway station at nearby Hinton Admiral provides services to London Waterloo in approximately two hours.
