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 or The Noisy Lobster on Avon beach. 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.

THE PROPERTY

The property is approached over a front driveway leading to the central front door and entrance porch, providing space for coats and shoes. This opens into a central hallway giving access to the accommodation.

The living accommodation is located to the rear and includes a spacious L-shaped dining and sitting room, which opens through to a glazed conservatory overlooking the rear garden, with doors leading directly outside.

The kitchen offers a range of wall-mounted and base units with wraparound work surfaces, a central island, space for washing machine, and a sink unit. Additional doors lead to a pantry cupboard, a storage area and there is a door leading to the side access to the property.

To the front of the property are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both enjoying pleasant aspects, along with the main family bathroom comprising a corner bath, WC and wash hand basin, with an airing cupboard housing a recently fitted combi boiler.

From the hallway there is also access to a very large loft space via a sizeable hatch; the loft already benefits from a dormer and window, making it ideal for conversion into one or two additional bedrooms, subject to the necessary consents.

OUTSIDE

The property sits centrally within a generous south-facing plot. A hardstanding driveway provides off-road parking and leads directly to a single garage.

There is access to the rear garden from both sides of the property. The gardens to the front and rear are mainly laid to lawn and bordered by established shrubs, hedging and fencing, creating a private and pleasant outdoor space.
