Situated in the very heart of Highcliffe, this superbly presented second floor one bedroom apartment offers stylish, contemporary living in a desirable High Street position, just 0.5 miles from the seafront, perfect for first time buyers, professionals and investors alike.

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, family butcher and gourmet grocery. Highcliffe also nurtures a foodie reputation with an annual food festival and tasty selection of cafes, gastropubs and restaurants. Leisure facilities include Highcliffe Castle Golf Club while the New Forest lies just to the north. Mainline railway stations are found nearby at Hinton Admiral and New Milton with services to London Waterloo in two hours.

The centrepiece of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen and living area, offering a versatile space ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is finished to a high specification, featuring sleek cabinetry, a central kitchen island and a full range of integrated appliances, including a full-sized dishwasher, fridge freezer, and oven, seamlessly combining functionality with contemporary style.

The living area provides ample room for both lounge and dining furnishings, with neutral toned carpet flooring adding warmth and a modern aesthetic.

The generously proportioned master bedroom is a standout feature, offering a spacious retreat with ample room for storage. Soft carpeting enhances comfort underfoot, complementing the overall sense of calm and relaxation.

The property is further enhanced by a large, beautifully appointed family bathroom, finished with neutral, contemporary tiling and modern fittings, creating a clean and sophisticated space.

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.
