No Forward Chain – An attractive two-bedroom first-floor apartment ideally located within easy reach of Barton on Sea's renowned clifftop walks and beach. The property offers well-balanced accommodation, including two bath/shower rooms, a spacious sitting/dining room, and the added benefit of a single garage situated in a nearby block.

Barton on Sea is a quiet residential area in a stunning coastal setting with beach and clifftop views across Christchurch Bay, sweeping from Hurst Castle to Hengistbury Head. The sand and shingle beach is popular with dog walkers while the cliff top attracts paragliders.

Barton has a history dating back to Anglo Saxon times, however it developed relatively recently. Apart from a row of old coastguard cottages, it mostly comprises avenues and closes of mid-century and modern family homes, chalets, imaginative new builds and substantial houses on leafy Barton Common Road.

Popular with retirees, Barton has been discovered by young families, attracted by the relaxed outdoorsy lifestyle, with coast on one side and New Forest on the other, plus good state and independent schools; these include Durlston Court and Ballard School, both rated ‘excellent’.

Facilities include clifftop restaurants and Barton on Sea Golf Club, a 27-hole clifftop course. Barton also benefits from the extensive amenities of neighbouring New Milton. Among these are a mainline station with train services to London in around two hours, arts centre, selection of shops ranging from an M&S food store to a traditional department store and weekly market.

Outside, residents enjoy access to well-maintained communal grounds. The apartment is conveniently positioned within a short walk of Barton on Sea's local amenities, coastline, and clifftop paths. A single garage, located within a nearby block, completes the accommodation.
