Old Barn Lane, Old Barn Road, Christchurch, BH23

A beautifully designed detached home offering over 2,000 sqft of versatile living space. Nestled in a prime residential area, it enjoys excellent access to St Catherine’s Hill, Bournemouth Airport, and Christchurch town centre. This impressive property features four generous double bedrooms, three stylish bathrooms, and two inviting reception rooms. Outside, you'll find private, low-maintenance gardens, ample parking, a carport, and a single garage.

THE SITUATION

This charming and picturesque town has been shaped over the centuries by its position at the confluence of the Rivers Avon and Stour. Features include waterside walks and parks, among them the Quomps, a grassland area frequently used as a venue for events, a Saxon watermill, 11th century Priory and 12th century castle ruins.

There is a thriving high street of quality independents, plus an excellent selection of bistros, cafes, pubs and restaurants, among them Captain’s Club Hotel and The King’s Arms. Christchurch is also home to the immensely popular Christchurch Food Festival.

The town attracts retirees, families and the active. Christchurch Harbour is ideal for paddleboarders, sailors and windsurfers, while families are drawn by the excellent schooling, including Twynham secondary school and sixth form college judged ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted.

Property ranges from character family homes and modern chalets to quayside developments. Communications are good: train services from Christchurch’s mainline station take around two hours into London while the A35 provides access to road networks.

THE PROPERTY

The property is accessed through a covered storm porch, leading into a spacious hallway that provides access to all ground-floor accommodation, along with a cloakroom and WC.

Leading off to the left of the hallway, the heart of the home is a stunning open-plan, triple-aspect kitchen/dining room. With attractive tiled flooring throughout, it is beautifully complemented by bi-folding doors that open onto the rear patio, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.

The kitchen features a quality range of two-tone wall, floor, and drawer units with sleek quartz work surfaces, complete with under-unit lighting. It is fully equipped with integral appliances, including a five-ring induction hob with extractor fan above, a double oven, and a dishwasher.

Adjacent to the kitchen, a separate utility room provides additional work surface and storage, along with space and plumbing for white goods. A side door offers convenient access to the gardens.

Located on the right-hand side of the hallway, at the rear of the property, is a spacious living room. Bi-folding doors open into the rear garden, while a wood-burning stove serves as an attractive focal point in the room.

Additional ground-floor reception rooms include a separate office with views over the front aspect and driveway.

From the hallway, stairs lead to the first-floor landing, which gives access to four generously proportioned double bedrooms. Two of these bedrooms feature en-suite shower rooms and offer ample space for furniture and storage.

These bedrooms are served by a modern four-piece family bathroom, featuring a spacious walk-in shower cubicle, a separate bath with mixer taps, and stylish tiled floors and walls.

The primary bedroom is a standout feature of the property, offering generous proportions and wall-to-wall built-in wardrobes. It is served by a modern three-piece en-suite shower room, which benefits from underfloor heating.

OUTSIDE

The property offers generous off-road parking, leading to a detached single garage and carport, both equipped with an EV charge point. A side access gate opens into the private rear garden, designed for ease of living, mainly laid to lawn and bordered by mature trees and hedging.

Enclosed by high-board fencing, the garden provides a high degree of privacy, with a large patio adjoining the rear of the property—an ideal space for al fresco dining.
