"Scholars Retreat is a secluded clifftop haven, where privacy meets breathtaking horizon.

ABOUT THIS HOUSE
Nestled on the outskirts of Milford on Sea, this exclusive enclave was once home to Hordle House, a well regarded preparatory school. Now reimagined as a peaceful and private collection of homes, it retains a sense of history and charm, perfectly positioned to embrace its spectacular coastal surroundings.

This beautifully appointed townhouse has been thoughtfully designed to maximise its breathtaking setting, with uninterrupted views stretching across Christchurch Bay. Arranged over three floors, the home offers a seamless blend of space, light, and coastal elegance.

The ground floor features two generously sized en suite bedrooms, one opening onto the garden ideal for guests or multi generational living. A study, utility room, and cloakroom complete this level.
On the first floor, the spacious sitting room opens onto a private balcony, framing panoramic sea views and inviting the outdoors in. The adjoining kitchen and breakfast room, centred around a stylish island, is both elegant and practical, offering the perfect space for cooking, entertaining, and relaxed dining.

The top floor is dedicated to the principal suite, a tranquil retreat with fitted wardrobes, an en suite bathroom, and a private south facing balcony an idyllic spot to enjoy morning coffee with the coastal horizon as a backdrop. A fourth en suite bedroom completes the accommodation.

Outside, the garden is designed for low maintenance while maximising the spectacular outlook. Beyond the picket fence, communal grounds lead to the Solent Way footpath, connecting to scenic coastal trails.
With a double garage, allocated parking, and visitor spaces, this is a rare opportunity to own an exceptional coastal home that offers seclusion, convenience, and breathtaking views in equal measure.
