4 bedrooms House in Barrs Avenue, New Milton BH25
Stunning 4-bed, 4-bath 3,500 sqft modern home near New Forest and coast. Spacious living, landscaped gardens, garage, walk to town, fast rail to London. Ideal for families close to Ballard School There are homes that make everyday life feel a little easier, and then there are homes that give you the space to live it differently. At No 15, the appeal lies in having room to come together, places to retreat, and a garden that invites you outside all within easy reach of the coast, the New Forest and the everyday conveniences of New Milton. Originally built in the 1970s and essentially rebuilt and extensively remodelled in 2017, this house has been transformed into a high specification, contemporary home with generous proportions and a considered layout. Extending to over 3,500 sq ft, it offers four double bedrooms, four bathrooms and living spaces that work just as well for a quiet evening at home as they do for a house full of family and friends. It is a home designed around the way people live now, with the flexibility to adapt as life changes. The approach sets the tone. A handsome double-fronted house. Beyond the driveway, two entrance doors open into a full-height entrance hall, creating an immediate sense of space and light. Glazed doors draw the eye through the house, offering glimpses of the principal rooms beyond and giving a sense of how it all seemlessly connects. From here, the ground floor unfolds naturally. The drawing room and study sit apart from the main family space, offering a welcome choice between being together and finding a little quiet of your own. Double doors lead towards the kitchen and dining area, where the house opens up into its central gathering space. This really is the heart of the home. The result is a layout that feels both connected and well balanced, with distinct areas for different moments in the day. The kitchen, dining and family room is the natural centre of the house leading through glazed double doors from the entrance hall: a generous and sociable open-plan space bringing the family together at the start and end of the day. Designed by locals, Vivian & Holt, the kitchen combines clean contemporary lines with considered, high end finishes, including Silestone engineered quartz worktops and integrated appliances. A long breakfast bar provides a place for a morning coffee, an informal meal or conversations while dinner is being prepared. French doors also lead out to the garden dining area. Flowing from the kitchen, there is ample room for a large dining table seating 8-10 - also having French doors into the garden, creating a sense of connection between the spaces. The dining area then leads into a comfortable family room complete with fireplace, allowing the space to shift effortlessly through the day. The real-flame gas fire brings warmth and definition to the family room, while more French doors open directly onto garden. It is easy to imagine the rhythm of life here breakfast at the island, friends gathered around the table, doors open on a summer afternoon, or a relaxed, cosy evening with the fire lit as the garden darkens outside. The drawing room is a more intimate place to settle at the end of the day. A real-flame effect gas fire provides a focal point, while double aspect windows to the front and French doors to the back bring the garden into view and offer a natural connection to the outside. It is a room for slower mornings, prehaps reading the Sunday papers, a good book or an evening spent away from the activity of the kitchen and family room. This room also has a bonus a reading nook or additional study area perhaps with additional windows to the front. The study provides a dedicated space for working from home, reading or managing the practicalities of everyday life. Extensive built-in storage helps keep everything in its place, making it a useful room without compromising the calm of the wider house. For those wanting a TV snug for sports games or gaming, this room is ideal. It would equally make a great playroom, keeping the toys and crafting away from the rest of the house, but allowing the fun to continue. The ground floor also accommodates perhaps the less glamorous, but so important, details of a well-functioning home. A separate utility room, with access from outside, keeps laundry and household tasks away from the main living spaces. There is enough space here for muddy boots and paws after a walk around Ballard Lake. The downstairs cloakroom and integral single garage add further useful convenience. Upstairs, four double bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation for family and guests, three have well appointed en-suite shower rooms and there is also a large family bathroom with bath and double width shower. The principal suite is a tranquil retreat, with windows to the rear, a full fitted dressing room area and a stunning ensuite with double width shower and twin basins.
