Stony Lane, Burton, Christchurch, BH23

A beautifully presented three/four-bedroom detached chalet-style home, ideally situated in a sought-after village of Burton. With stunning views over fields behind, and walking distance to Burton village green and amenities, as well and Christchurch town centre.

THE SITUATION

This delightful home is situated in the small village of Burton, close to the local school, doctor’s surgery, two gastro pubs and shop. It is situated on the edge of the Avon Valley, approximately two miles from the harbour-side town of Christchurch, with easy access to the south coasts stunning beaches at Bournemouth and Poole.

Christchurch is a delight; a harbour side town of character and charm located where the Avon and Stour rivers flow into Christchurch Harbour. Positioned between Bournemouth and the New Forest, Christchurch is a lively town with a mainline station and a good variety of independent and national brands (from Boots to Waitrose). It has become something of a foodie destination: chock-a-block with cafes, pubs, and restaurants, such as The Jetty on Mudeford Quay. It is also the venue for a popular food and wine festival that attracts some high-profile chefs.

Other attractions include the priory, castle ruins, nature reserves, nearby beaches and Mudeford Quay with ferry service to Mudeford Spit (with iconic beach huts) and Hengistbury Head.
