The house occupies a highly sought after position on the edge of the village and backs on to open paddock land which provides a delightful sense of space as well as a high level of privacy. Barnes Lane is an attractive, leafy lane that is well removed from major traffic yet sits less than a mile from the centre of Milford on Sea’s beautiful village green which is surrounded by boutiques, wine bars, cafes and restaurants. The village has a glorious beach ideal for relaxing or sea swimming and from which one can access beautiful coastal walking paths.

Nearby Lymington (3.8 miles) offers a wider range of shops and services catering for most daily requirements as well as being a thriving sailing destination with numerous marinas and sailing clubs with a market in the High Street each Saturday. The New Forest National Park lies to the north and offers countless walks and cycle rides across its glorious expanse of open country.

The area is well served by superb local schools including Walhampton, Durlston and Ballard. There is also a railway station at New Milton (3.9 miles) offering direct services to London Waterloo in under 2 hours.

The house is approached through double gates leading to a very large gravel drive providing extremely generous parking and turning space. Adjacent to the house is a single car port and there is also a detached double garage with an up and over door and interior staircase leading to a first floor loft room.

The house sits on a large plot extending to 0.6 acres and there is a gate from the drive leading to the west facing rear garden via a beautiful paved terrace complete with modern ornamental fishpond. There is also an elegant large paved terrace which runs along the rear of the house providing superb relaxing or entertaining space that can be accessed from both the kitchen / family room, sitting room and snug. The majority of the rear garden is level and laid to lawn featuring mature trees and shrubs at the boundary.

The house offers substantial and very well presented accommodation which is arranged over two floors extending to just under 3,000 sq ft. The front door opens to a large enclosed porch with tiled floor and further door to the entrance hall. All principal rooms can be accessed from the hall including the beautifully presented kitchen / family room which features modern fitted units and built in appliances. There is a large island which also serves as a useful bar for informal dining and cleverly separates the kitchen from the dining and sitting areas which feature tall windows, a ceiling lantern and glazed door to the terrace all designed to bring views of the delightful gardens into the living space. 

Accessed from both the hall and the kitchen is a very generous sitting room, again with French windows to the garden and a feature fire place. Beyond the sitting room is a snug which would also make an ideal play room, music room or library. Also on the ground floor is a generous study with fitted book cases and cupboards under. There is a cloakroom with wc positioned off the hall as well as a large utility room with fitted work surfaces with sink and cupboards as well as space and plumbing for a washing machine. 

On the first floor there are five bedrooms. The master bedroom has a dual aspect with doors to a balcony enjoying views across the gardens. There are built in wardrobes and an en suite bathroom with bath and separate shower. The second bedroom has an en suite shower room and an adjoining dressing room with built in wardrobes. The three further bedrooms are catered for by a further shower room accessed from the landing.
