THE SITUATION

New Milton sits in a prime location with the New Forest to the north and Barton on Sea to the south.

This market town attracts families, drawn by its strong community, range of facilities, mainline station and schooling provision.

The town centre has a strong selection of shops, among them butcher, bakery, M&S Food and a traditional quality department store. Leisure facilities feature an arts centre with a programme of performances and workshops, health and sports centre with pool, recreation ground and skatepark.

Eating out experiences range from gastropubs to fine dining via The Kitchen, a relaxed restaurant and cookery school at Chewton Glen Country House Hotel overseen by TV Chef James Martin.

New Milton developed after the arrival of the railway in the late 19th century (train services into London take around two hours), therefore property choice comprises some character property, modern family homes on tree-lined avenues, and country houses bordering the New Forest.

OUTSIDE

The wrap-around gardens are designed for easy upkeep, with areas of lawn bordered by fencing and hedging, providing a good degree of privacy. A paved patio accessed via the bi-folding doors creates an ideal setting for alfresco dining. A rear gate leads to the tarmac driveway and single garage.
