AREA DESCRIPTION
Surrey House sits in the no-through part of Surrey Road so has little passing traffic and is quiet yet it sits in a prime central position within Bournemouth town centre, offering an exceptional blend of coastal living, vibrant amenities and excellent connectivity.
When relaxing at home, you barely need a car, as within two minutes walk you are in Bournemouth Gardens with a short walk to the town centre, the pier and the beaches. The Gardens are a stretch of parkland right down to the seafront with cafes, a street food corner, an aviary, bandstand and the famous Christmas Tree wonderland. The gardens are perfect for walking and cycling.
The town centre has a comprehensive range of bars, shops and restaurants. Take the BH2 leisure complex as example with a 10 screen Odeon cinema, 11 restaurants including Five Guys, Miller and Carter, Nando's, The Real Greek and Shark Tail Sushi, plus the fun venues of Boom Battle Bar, Escape Hunt and Mr Mulligans. Just up the road from the flat is highly regarded Da Mario's Italian restaurant.
For your food shop, there is a Co-Op less than a minute away or walk into Westbourne for M&S Food with Tesco and Lidl just beyond. There is a doctor's surgery on Poole Road and doctors and dentists in Westbourne.
For sport, the sea offers you windsurfing, kitesurfing and paddleboarding while in Bournemouth Gardens and less than a minute from the flat there are 8 tennis courts, 3 of which are indoor in the winter. There is even a Bournemouth Gardens Community Tennis Club with a clubhouse, showers and changing facilities. You can walk to Meyrick Park where there is an 18 hole golf course as well as a club with gym, studio classes, indoor swimming pool and spa.
By car, transport links are excellent - you can join the Wessex Way in less than 2 minutes, where it is at least dual carriageway to the New Forest, Southampton and the UK motorway network. Bournemouth Airport is one of the fastest growing in the UK and from Bournemouth Railway Station it is 2 hours to London Waterloo and there is a direct connection to Manchester.
