Wickfield Avenue, Christchurch, BH23

No Forward Chain - Set on one of Christchurch’s most desirable roads, this beautifully presented three-bedroom detached home offers the perfect balance of character, space, and convenience. Ideally located in the centre of town, it is just a short stroll from boutique shops, acclaimed restaurants, the Town Quay, and the mainline railway station. A sweeping in-and-out driveway provides generous parking and leads to a single garage, while the property enjoys a wonderful sunny aspect.

THE SITUATION

Christchurch is a charming harborside town where the Avon and Stour rivers converge into Christchurch Harbour. Nestled between Bournemouth and the New Forest, it boasts a vibrant community with a mainline train station and a delightful mix of independent shops and well-known brands, including Waitrose.

As a burgeoning foodie destination, Christchurch offers an array of cafes, pubs, and restaurants, such as The Jetty on Mudeford Quay. The town also hosts a popular food and wine festival that attracts renowned chefs. Additional attractions include the priory, castle ruins, nature reserves, nearby beaches, and Mudeford Quay, which provides a ferry service to Mudeford Spit (home to iconic beach huts) and Hengistbury Head. A variety of activities are available, including cricket, golf, and water sports.

Families will appreciate the high-quality education options, with schools rated at least ‘good’ by Ofsted; Christchurch Infant School, Mudeford Infant and Junior Schools, and Twynham Comprehensive all hold ‘outstanding’ ratings. The property market offers an attractive range of options, from architect-designed new builds to fine Georgian houses and modern townhouses, some with waterside locations and views across Christchurch Harbour.
