Tailor Made are delighted to present 'The Manor House', a distinguished Grade II listed residence of rare charm, provenance, and elegance. Dating back to the early 1700's, this five-bedroom home is steeped in history, having served various roles over the centuries – including as a school – before becoming one of New Milton’s most admired and iconic private houses.
Perfectly positioned within a level walk of under 0.5mile from the award-winning Ballard School, New Milton railway station, and the vibrant High Street, The Manor House offers the elusive blend of historical grandeur, everyday convenience, and genuine warmth.
From the moment you arrive, the property’s stately façade commands attention. Queen Anne style windows, decorative brickwork, and a perfectly proportioned silhouette create exceptional kerb appeal. A secure wrought iron gate opens to the front garden, while to the side, secure off-street parking for two vehicles is discreetly positioned beneath a bespoke open carport.
Inside, the home immediately conveys its individuality – refined and elegant, yet with a welcoming atmosphere that makes it instantly inviting. The entrance porch leads into a magnificent dining hall/reception room, where wood panelling, high ceilings, and a handsome gas fireplace set the tone for the interiors. This is a space equally suited to grand entertaining or intimate family gatherings.
From here, the accommodation flows naturally into the main sitting room, also adorned with original wood panelling, a gas fireplace, and fine period detailing. Generous Queen Anne style windows draw in soft natural light, while the balance of architectural grandeur and homely comfort makes this a space in which to truly relax.
To the right of the dining hall, the kitchen is a beautifully appointed heart of the home. A striking Aga serves as its centrepiece, complemented by a large central island that invites conversation and casual dining. The kitchen includes ample storage, an integrated dishwasher, and generous work surfaces, all framed by Queen Anne style windows that ensure the room is bathed in daylight. This is a kitchen created for both culinary excellence and sociable living.
A guest cloakroom completes the ground floor.
A quarter-turn staircase – itself a notable feature – rises to the first floor, where the principal bedroom suite enjoys dual-aspect views, bespoke fitted wardrobes, and a luxurious en-suite complete with walk-in shower, corner bath, hand basin, and WC.
A second spacious bedroom and an elegant family bathroom occupy the opposite side of the landing, offering flexibility for family or guests.
The second floor provides three further double bedrooms – one with its own en-suite – and an additional family bathroom, ensuring generous accommodation across all levels.
The grounds are as carefully considered as the interiors. Level lawns sweep across the front and side of the property, framed by mature planting and colourful borders. Two distinct seating areas offer options for year-round enjoyment: A private raised deck for secluded relaxation, and a charming, covered veranda, ideal for morning coffee or evening drinks.
Directly across the road lies Ballard Lake & Water Meadow, a tranquil nature reserve rich with wildlife. The traditional village duck pond, a favourite with children, adds to the idyllic charm of the surroundings.
Just under half a mile away, the highly sought after Ballard School is a multi-award-winning independent day school set in 34 acres of woodland and playing fields, educating pupils from nursery to gcse.
New Milton railway station, also within walking distance, offers regular direct services to London Waterloo in around 1 hour 50 minutes, making this an ideal home for those balancing coastal living with city connections.
The coastline of Barton-on-Sea, with its dramatic cliff-top walks, fossil-rich beaches, and inviting cafés, is a short distance away, as is the expanse of the New Forest National Park – offering miles of open heathland, ancient woodland, and outdoor pursuits.
The town of New Milton is known for its friendly atmosphere and excellent amenities, from independent boutiques and pavement cafés to the renowned family-run Bradbeers Department Store. There is an excellent selection of restaurants and public houses, catering to a range of tastes and a Marks & Spencer food hall.
Services: All mains services connected.
Service Charge: £770 per annum (communal parking areas, managed by Highcliffe Property Management).
