Newly built in 2022, this stylish property is in Friars Cliff with enviable access to the beach and the historic town of Christchurch, which offers a great selection of amenities. Why not spend the day crabbing at the nearby quay, or simply relax on the long stretch of golden sand?

For retail therapy head into Bournemouth (6 miles) and perhaps take in a show at the popular BIC or Pavilion theatre.

Adjacent to the owners’ home, yet with privacy assured, a private entrance door opens into a striking open plan space, which is flooded with natural light and has a beautiful polished concrete floor. There is space to relax in comfort beside the Smart TV or to enjoy leisurely meals at the table. Just next door is a contemporary galley kitchen and a shower room with wet room style shower and WC. Completing the accommodation is a super-king-size zip-and-link bedroom, where you can glimpse the sea and have the beds arranged as a twin on request.

Although there is no dedicated garden for the property, you are moments from the beach and can also take a seat under an open veranda and enjoy your morning coffee.

Amazing place, very relaxing and comfortable and extremely quiet property, even on a very windy weekend. Perfect location with nearby beach, restaurants and pub, plus coastal walks in either direction to Bournmouth and Naish Beach. Note the ferry only operates at the weekend in the winter months so you need to drive to Hengistbury car park to walk Read moreto Bournmouth. Sammy Millers Motorcycle museum is close and well worth a visit and we highly recommend the excellent Haven pub! Hide
