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. There are acclaimed independent schools, including Durlston Court and Ballard School, both rated ‘excellent’, while state schools include New Milton Infants judged ‘outstanding’, New Milton Junior rated ‘good’, and Arnewood Secondary which is ‘good’ with ‘outstanding’ 16-19 study programme.

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.

The Property

The front door opens into a central entrance hall, from which the principal ground-floor rooms are arranged. Positioned towards the front is a reception room, currently shown as a playroom/third bedroom. Its proportions and bay window make it a particularly versatile space, lending itself equally well to use as a formal dining room, snug, guest bedroom or family room depending on individual requirements.

To the back of the house is a generous sitting room with a wide bay window, creating a bright and comfortable main reception space with plenty of room for larger seating arrangements.

The kitchen is a particularly good size and forms one of the main hubs of the ground floor. There is ample room for storage and preparation space, together with a central island, while the room’s proportions give a future purchaser plenty of opportunity to update the layout in a more contemporary style if desired.

Adjoining the kitchen is a separate dining room, providing a natural space for everyday family meals and entertaining. Its position alongside the kitchen also offers the potential, subject to any necessary consents, to consider a more open-plan arrangement in the future.

Also on the ground floor is a useful study, ideal for anyone working from home, alongside a further bedroom and a shower room. This gives the ground floor a particularly flexible layout and makes the house well suited to families needing guest accommodation, multigenerational living or additional work-from-home space.

The first floor provides two further substantial bedrooms. The principal bedroom is especially generous, with built-in storage and access into the eaves, while the second bedroom also offers excellent proportions and additional fitted storage. A family bathroom is positioned off the landing.
