THE SITUATION

Highcliffe on Sea (or simply Highcliffe) sits on a high bluff above a beautiful stretch of sand and shingle beach. This small leafy coastal town, straddling the Dorset/Hampshire border, is best known for Highcliffe Castle, an ornate early Victorian mansion, once home to Mr Selfridge and now an events venue. Its grounds enjoy outstanding views across Christchurch Bay towards the Isle of Wight while footpaths head off to a wooded nature reserve or zig-zag down to the beach.

Highcliffe is ideal for those searching for a relaxed yet smart seaside lifestyle. A high street of useful independent shops includes a bakery, family butcher and gourmet grocery. Highcliffe also nurtures a foodie reputation with an annual food festival and tasty selection of cafes, gastropubs and restaurants.

Leisure facilities include Highcliffe Castle Golf Club while the New Forest lies just to the north.

THE PROPERTY

Intercom access grants entry to the communal stairway leading to the apartment, which opens into a light and airy entrance hallway with space for storage or desk furniture.

At the end of the hallway, the highlight of the home is the delightful ‘L’ shaped dining family room, featuring a large south-facing balcony accessed via glazed sliding doors that overlook the pristine communal gardens. This space offers ample room for furniture as well as access to the eaves storage.

Adjacent is a contemporary white gloss kitchen with brushed chrome handles and quality granite work surfaces, under-unit lighting, and a skylight allowing for an abundance of natural light. It includes a range of fitted appliances, such as a halogen hob with a matching extractor fan, an integral fridge freezer and a double oven.

The primary suite is of excellent size, featuring a walk-through dressing area with built-in storage and mirrored sliding doors that open into the room. The suite offers additional storage and ample space for furniture. It also includes a three-piece en-suite with a white panelled bath with shower attachment, complete with fully tiled walls.

Two additional bedrooms, both with built-in storage, are served by a generous four-piece family bathroom. This bathroom includes a large walk-in shower cubicle with feature tiled walls, a freestanding bath, a bidet, a WC, a hand wash basin, and a heated towel rail, all complemented by tiled flooring throughout.
