Bedroom

The Situation

Milford on Sea is one of the area's most popular villages enjoying glorious swimming beaches, close proximity to the open spaces of The New Forest and a vibrant village green surrounded by cafe's, wine bars, restaurants and boutiques. The village has an excellent primary school with nearby prep schools at Durlston and Ballard in nearby New Milton which also has a mainline railway station providing direct services to Waterloo in just under 2 hours. The open spaces of the New Forest National Park lie to the north of the village and provide excellent opportunities for walking, cycling and general recreation. The nearby market town of Lymington (4 miles to the north east) offers a wider range of facilities as well as numerous sailing clubs and marinas.

The Property

The front door opens to a light and well proportioned staircase hall which provides access to the first floor as well as the principle reception rooms and ground floor bedrooms. The atmosphere of the house is shaped by the exceptional kitchen / dining room which features vaulted ceilings and bifold doors providing spectacular far-reaching views across the property's 3.5 acres of paddocks, where two of the current owners' horses graze. The kitchen is very stylish with an array of integral appliances to include a large island unit incorporating the induction hob and breakfast bar. There is a snug adjacent to the kitchen with a floor to ceiling picture window to the rear. Opening off the kitchen / dining room is an especially generous sitting room measuring 26' x 21'9 and complete with a feature fireplace fitted with a free standing woodburning stove. There is a very spacious utility room with a back door to the garden as well as a work surface with fitted sink and inbuilt storage cupboards. Off the utility room is a shower room with wc. There is also a large Gym / Games room, with built in storage cupboard and bi-fold doors overlooking the garden. Also on the ground floor two double bedrooms, both with en suite shower rooms and a study / bedroom 6.

On the first floor, a central landing gives access to three further bedrooms. The main bedroom features sliding doors onto a balcony which overlooks the garden and paddocks beyond. There is a walk-in wardrobe as well as an en suite bathroom featuring wc, basin, separate shower cubicle and large Jacuzzi style bath. The further two double bedrooms are served by a family shower room and a built in wardrobe on the landing.

Grounds & Gardens

A particular feature of the property is its extensive gardens and grounds extending to approximately 4 acres with both formal gardens and paddocks with adjoining stables and stable yard. The open and unspoilt views from the house across its own ground are extremely rare in a property with such a sophisticated equestrian set up so close to the centre of this highly sought after coastal village.

The house is approached through double gates over a tarmac drive providing extensive parking which leads past the house to the stable yard beyond. Ornamental gardens surround the house to the front while the rear of the property provides access to a large terrace which overlooks the paddocks and features a superb outdoor swimming pool. The paddocks are level and well drained and easily accessed from the stable yard which is itself convenient to the main house.

The stable block provides three loose boxes and three separate store rooms. There are also two single garages and a car port.
