Family Coastal Hideout. Sea-Facing Development Above Beach., Milford On Sea

New Forest. Sleeps up to 6

This stylish, little house, is a 1970's build, but don't judge a book by it's cover! Inside it's like a tardis, and really well organised for guests who want to relax and explore the area.

Three smart bedrooms, two bathrooms, plenty of space downstairs, a south facing conservatory and terrace make for perfect sunbathing conditions.

You will be stuck for choosing to stay in, or hit the beach. The location here is fab'. The house sits just behind a sea-facing development above Hordle Cliff beach and west of Milford on Sea village a 15 minutes walk. You can walk to the beach in 3 minutes. (John, the lovely owner took out his stop watch and tested it for you!)

The beach here is fantastic. At mid-low tide, lovely golden sand is revealed. At high tide it's pebbly up to the long lines of colourful beach huts that tuck in to the gentle cliff face. People swim here on the beach throughout the year. The sand bar in summer makes a very safe, warm and shallow lagoon for children to play in.

Space has been used well here in the recent total renovation. The open plan downstairs area is the full width and length of the house. It feels generous in size for a small place. The  conservatory is the full house width and lets in plenty of light. The colours downstairs are bold and dark, but with all the light, it feels fun and dramatic, rather than dark. The sitting room has masses of seating and a huge TV for cinema-style relaxing or catching up on the sport. .

The kitchen is smart, white, with electric oven and fridge/freezer. The kitchen table sits to one side in the large sitting room. There is a large Smart TV mounted above the old fireplace so watching a movie or sport here is easy. Large Sofa and arm chair. The conservatory has wicker sofa seating and you can open the modern sliding doors up to allow the sun in. It's a real sun trap here and the light from the conservatory warms the house beautifully through the year.

Part of the garage has been reclaimed for a utility room, which is fab for storing prams, beach stuff and luggage.

The staircase has a wooden handrail for those who might need it.

Three upstairs bedrooms are small in size, as you'd expect in a terraced house, but they are light, bright and well dressed with 100% cotton linens.
