The side windows flanking the fireplace enhance the natural light, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere. The galley kitchen is functional, providing ample base and wall units along with essential appliances, including a gas hob and electric oven. A back door offers convenient access to the garden, making it easy to transition between indoor and outdoor living.

Outdoor space is another highlight of this property; the southerly-facing garden features mature hedges and provides plenty of room for landscaping or gardening projects. Additionally, there is a detached garage situated at the side of the property accessible via side access. The resin driveway accommodates multiple vehicles. Located approximately 1.2 miles from Highcliffe village, residents can enjoy an array of cafes, restaurants, shops, and supermarkets.

The nearby Hinton Admiral train station (around 0.5 miles) provides regular services to Bournemouth, Southampton, and London Waterloo—an attractive feature for commuters. For those who appreciate nature, Highcliffe Beach lies roughly 1.3 miles away, offering stunning coastal scenery. Furthermore, being close to the New Forest National Park adds significant appeal for outdoor enthusiasts seeking beautiful landscapes interspersed with ancient woodlands. In addition to its desirable location, this property falls within sought-after catchment areas for local schools including Highcliffe School and Highcliffe St Marks Primary School—an advantage for families considering long-term residency or rental prospects.
