Property description
Affording an uninterrupted outlook over swathes of woodland, an individual, refurbished family home overlooking Christchurch Bay with the backdrop of the Isle of Wight and The Needles.
Abutting the ever popular Barton on Sea Golf Club, Linkwood is derived from an earlier, substantially smaller dwelling and in recent years the property has been enlarged and refurbished to provide for accommodation arranged over 2 extensive floors, with the majority of the reception rooms and bedroom suites enjoying spectacular views over the adjacent coastline.
In all, a fine family home of generous proportions, fitted and finished to an exemplary specification with an unsurpassed coastal outlook.
4 bedrooms (3 with dressing rooms), balcony, 4 en suite bath/shower rooms, cloakroom, sitting room, open plan kitchen/breakfast room, family/dining room, study, utility room, garage/workshop complex, gardens, garden chalet with hot tub, spectacular coastal viewsBARTON ON SEA Barton Common Road is a quiet road at the eastern end of Barton on Sea. Barton cliff, the golf course and the coast is approximately two thirds of a mile to the south and the centre of Barton is half a mile to the west. New Milton, with its more extensive shopping facilities and mainline railway station, is less than a mile to the north. To the east is the coastal village of Milford on Sea (3 miles) with yachting facilities at Keyhaven (4 miles) and Lymington (6 miles). There are a wide range of walks onto the open countryside and coast, in particular the mostly road-free walk along the coast and cliffs to Milford on Sea and on to Hurst Castle, a total one-way trip of some 5 miles.
ACCOMMODATION IN MORE DETAIL Having a fine southerly aspect, the accommodation throughout is naturally well lit and benefits from full gas fired heating and quality low maintenance UPVC double glazing. Opening off a fine through hallway, the property has a useful tiled secondary hall that serves a cavernous cloakroom and its adjacent utility room with, to one side, an integral garaging/workshop complex. To the fore, the property provides for a spectacular open plan kitchen/breakfast room, the whole fitted with an exceptional range of bespoke units which opens to a coastal family/dining room. To the rear is a fine inland cosy sitting room. To one side, off the through hall, is a further sizable reception room, currently utilised as a study. Overhead are a total of 4 very well proportioned bedroom suites, each with their own en suite bath/shower rooms, with 3 of the suites having walk-in dressing rooms. The principal bedroom suite also benefits from a balcony with a wonderful open view across the garden and woodland towards the Isle of Wight.
OUTSIDE Externally, the property is set well back from the common and access is approached over a remote controlled gravelled driveway with a spur off that offers unobstructed parking. The gardens surrounding the property are laid essentially to sweeping tracts of maintained lawn with low-maintenance decorative beds and borders. To the rear is a fine detached Garden Chalet that features a hot tub set under a canopy screen.
