The property is approached via a gravel driveway, leading to a charming white picket fence and the front garden. From here, a pathway guides you to the covered porch and front door, opening into a welcoming entrance hall which sets the tone for the character within.

From the hallway, there is access to the main living areas and a staircase rising to the first floor. To the left, you are welcomed into a cosy and inviting sitting room, featuring windows overlooking the front of the property and centred around an attractive original open fireplace. The space flows seamlessly into a second reception area, ideal as a dining room or additional living space, enhanced by modern fitted units along one wall and useful under-stairs storage.

From here, a door leads through to the extended kitchen, which has been thoughtfully modernised. The kitchen offers a range of wall-mounted and floor-standing units, generous work surfaces, and a feature island with breakfast bar, along with integrated appliances. This bright and versatile space offers further area suitable for dining or informal seating, with patio doors providing direct access to the outside and allowing natural light to flood the room. There is also open access to a separate utility area and door through to a ground floor shower room, comprising a wash hand basin, WC, and shower cubicle.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing is spacious and provides access to all rooms. The principal bedroom is an impressive double, benefiting from two windows to the front of the property. Bedroom two is also a well-proportioned double, overlooking the rear.

Completing the accommodation is a larger then average modern family bathroom, fitted with a bath, WC, and wash hand basin, and featuring a window to the side aspect.

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.
