Set alongside the picturesque River Stour, this three-story property is a perfect base for exploring Dorset, Hampshire, and the New Forest. Christchurch itself offers a vibrant high street filled with independent shops and inviting eateries. History lovers can explore the striking 11th-century priory or visit the impressive Highcliffe Castle 4 miles to the east. Families will enjoy time at The Quomps, with its splash park and play area, while a short drive opens up further adventures—from the stunning Hengistbury Head, with sweeping views towards the Isle of Wight, to scenic coastal walks. Nearby highlights such as Stanpit Marsh, Mudeford Beach and Quay, Bournemouth, and Southbourne also provide plenty to see, do, and taste, all within 5 miles. Within 20 miles is the Beaulieu Motor Museum, Palace House and the striking New Forest National Park, which is home to ponies and cattle that roam the many idyllic villages and open moorland.

A shared driveway leads to the private entrance door into this semi-detached property, which is set over multiple levels in a town house style. A short flight of stairs leads to the light and bright lounge, which has bi-fold doors to a raised deck and a Smart TV. A handy separate WC is also on this floor. The next flight of stairs leads to the stylish kitchen/diner, which has all you need to prepare and enjoy leisurely family meals. The next landing leads to a beautiful double bedroom with balcony and the shower room and WC is next door. A further flight of steps leads to the double bedroom and at the top of the property is a cosy single bedroom, which completes the accommodation.

Heading outside from the king-size bedroom you will find a balcony with furniture for two, ideal for enjoying your morning coffee. Bi-fold doors open from the lounge onto a fabulous, raised deck with furniture and steps down to an area of lawn. Guests are welcome to walk down to the waters edge where you can launch paddleboards.

We must have been the first to enter, or at least it felt that way. Everything felt new and the whole place is super pleasant to stay. Because of the great weather, we spent most of the time out on the terrace. The kitchen is very well equipped. I personally loved my first experience with an induction hob. The place is bright and fresh. You'll comeRead more back fit, as you'll be climbing the stairs quite a bit. The owners seem to have thought about everything. No one can leave disappointed here. It's a great place to discover the area. The train station is a 17 minute walk away, with trains going every half an hour. Getting to the Isle of White for a day trip is easy done by train and boat. More locally, the ferry to Mudeford is close and Hengistbury head is great for walks or beach visits. Hide
