As the ‘Lymington effect’ spreads along the coast, is it boom time for New Milton and nearby Barton on Sea? Emma Caulton paid a visit to find out what’s on offer to buyers
YOU may smile (and people do), but I believe New Milton is up and coming. I have been watching the ripple effects from the smart money buying into Lymington move westwards along the coast. First it reached Milford on Sea. Next is Barton on Sea (New Milton’s coastal suburb) and New Milton itself.
A sea change is due, although the area has long been popular with Home Counties’ retirees looking for one level living on the coast. They’re attracted by bungalows in sunny gardens along wide, grass-verged and tree-edged avenues within easy walk of Barton on Sea’s clifftop, with its spectacular views sweeping from Hurst Castle in the east to Dorset’s Isle of Purbeck in the west – a smudge on the horizon. In response to this demographic the likes of Pebble Beach and Chewton Glen – respectively top notch clifftop restaurant with rooms in Barton on Sea and internationally acclaimed country house hotel and spa on the fringes of New Milton – have flourished, stacking up awards and accolades.
