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, the property is approached via timber gates onto a block-paved driveway, providing generous off-road parking and access to the double garage. Steps lead up to the front entrance, while the front garden has been attractively arranged for ease of maintenance, with artificial lawn, mature planting and colourful borders providing a high degree of privacy.

The south-facing rear garden is a particular feature of the home, thoughtfully designed for low-maintenance enjoyment. A split-level patio provides space for outdoor seating and entertaining, leading onto an artificial lawn bordered by mature and colourful planting. High-level fencing enhances the sense of privacy and seclusion, creating a peaceful outdoor space perfectly suited to relaxing and entertaining.
