Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms, one with super king bed and one with king bed. Each has double fitted wardrobes. There is also a smaller third bedroom with bunk beds to sleep two children.

The property has two new bathrooms – one with a bath and a waterfall shower upstairs, the other just the waterfall shower downstairs. The almost new, fully-equipped kitchen is high spec, with oversized fridge freezer. There is a small utility room with a washing machine and a tumble dryer and parking for two cars on the driveway.

Aside from being a premium property inside, what makes this place special is the convenience of its location. You really can walk everywhere you need to. There is a café, a pharmacy and local store for milk and essentials just one minute walk around the corner and a lovely sandwich bar/coffee shop a two minute walk away for coffee aficionados.

Across the road, the harbourside ‘Jetty’ restaurant is regularly voted the best restaurant in Dorset. The Upper Deck restaurant in the Christchurch Harbour Hotel across the road and the beach café ‘The Noisy Lobster’ on nearby Avon Beach both serve outstanding food with sea views but book ahead.

There are stunning walks a few minutes’ drive from the house, at Stanpit Marsh, Avon Beach and over the stunning headland Hengistbury Head. You can also take a ferry from Mudeford Quay across to Mudeford Spit, a long stretch of superb beach.
