An exceptional house dating from the 1930s which is full of
character yet perfectly suited to a practical, contemporary
lifestyle and positioned in a highly sought after location close to
both the village green and beaches of Milford on Sea. The spacious
accommodation is beautifully presented with four bedrooms upstairs
with sea views and a spacious annexe with fifth bedroom providing
the option of comfortable living for extended family or an
additional holiday rental income. Enjoying glorious south facing
gardens the property offers ample parking as well as a generous
garage that has planning permission for conversion to a two storey
building comprising a garage, annexe and sea view balcony. EPR -

The house occupies a prime position in Milford on Sea, one of
the areas most popular coastal villages offering year round
swimming and cliff top walks as well as a strong community with
independent shops, bars and restaurants around the village green.
The beaches and shops are a short walk away and Lymington lies 4
miles to the north east offering a wider range of shops as well as
renowned sailing facilities. Direct rail services to London
Waterloo are available from New Milton Station (3.6 miles) and
Brockenhurst (8.9 miles). The wide open spaces of the New Forest
lie just to the north with outstanding walks and cycle trails.
Copse House is a light and extremely spacious house that is
beautifully presented and sits on one of the village‘s most popular
roads. The sparkling waters of the Solent and The Needles are
visible at the end of the road and set the tone perfectly for
this glorious coastal home.
The house has been carefully updated by the current owners and
offers extremely flexible accommodation over two floors.
The main living space is an expansive open plan room with
exposed beams, a wood burning stove and several French windows
which face south and open onto the garden. This space incorporates
a living dining room which flows into the fully fitted kitchen
complete with central island and breakfast bar as well as space for
a traditional range cooker and further French windows on to the
garden. Beyond the kitchen is a rear hall, wc and a large laundry
room with ample space for washing and drying clothes and sailing
equipment. There are two further reception rooms, both of which
have doors on to the garden which would be an ideal bedroom and
sitting room for extended family or holiday let. Between these two
rooms is a shower room with twin sinks, wc and large shower. These
rooms are linked by a hall with a single door to the main ground
floor accommodation. The stairs to the first floor rise from a
central hall where there is the front door and a further
wc.
Upstairs there are four very well proportioned bedrooms, all of
which have south facing windows with views towards the sea. The
master bedroom has a dual aspect, built in wardrobes, a period
feature fireplace and a recently updated en suite shower room.
The second bedroom is another large room, also dual aspect and
featuring a large built in wardrobe. The remaining two double
bedrooms are also very well presented, light rooms with views over
the garden to the sea. A family bathroom and further wc complete
the accommodation.
The house is approached over a gravel drive which provides
plenty of off road parking and access to the detached garage. The
garage building is very well proportioned measuring nearly 17‘ by
over 30‘ currently arranged as garage and storage space with a
workshop towards the rear.
Planning permission is in place for the garage to be remodelled
and increased to two stories. The current permission allows for a
ground floor garage and bedroom with stairs to the first floor
where there is an open plan studio sitting room with sliding doors
onto a south facing balcony perfectly positioned to take in the
south westerly views to the sea and horizon.
The gardens lie predominantly to the south of the house and are
level and mainly laid to lawn with mature borders framing the
boundaries. There is a timber summer house with power and light as
well as a paved terrace ideal for dining adjacent to the house and
accessible from the French windows in the kitchen.
