Pinehurst Avenue, Christchurch, BH23

A well-presented three-bedroom detached bungalow occupying a highly convenient position in Pinehurst Avenue, Mudeford, within easy reach of the picturesque quay, Christchurch Harbour and the area’s renowned beaches. Offering bright, versatile accommodation, generous off-road parking and an enclosed rear garden, the property would make an excellent permanent home, coastal retreat or investment opportunity.

Mudeford enjoys a spectacular location with Christchurch Harbour on one side and Christchurch Bay on the other. Mudeford was originally a fishing village; today picturesque Mudeford Quay, at the mouth of Christchurch Harbour, continues this legacy.

The Quay is a focal point for the area and is popular with families going crabbing as well as water sports enthusiasts. There are stunning views to Mudeford Sandbank and across Christchurch Bay to the Isle of Wight, while a promenade heads east to sandy Gundimore and Avon Beaches. A ferry service from the Quay takes pedestrians across the harbour mouth to Mudeford Sandbank. This sandy peninsula is a glorious destination with its continental vibe and colony of colourful beach huts - the most expensive ones in the UK!

Mudeford has also developed impressive foodie credentials with the likes of smart waterside restaurants The Jetty and Upper Deck at Christchurch Harbour Hotel, while there is an annual seafood festival on Mudeford Quay. For families school provision is good with Mudeford Junior judged ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted, while property choice includes old fishermen’s cottages, high-specification contemporary builds, marina developments and waterfront apartments. Comprehensive facilities are available at Christchurch, two miles west.

The entrance opens into a central hallway, providing access to each of the bedrooms and the principal living accommodation.

At the front of the property is an impressive open-plan reception room, extending to almost 20 feet at its widest point. A broad bay window with fitted plantation shutters allows plenty of natural light into the room, while the generous proportions comfortably accommodate both sitting and dining areas. The interior is finished in a fresh coastal style, with pale flooring and neutral décor creating a bright and relaxed living space.

The adjoining kitchen is fitted with a range of clean-lined white wall and base units, complemented by dark work surfaces and a vibrant glazed tiled splashback. Appliances include a freestanding range-style cooker with an extractor above, together with space for further freestanding appliances. The kitchen is open to the dining area, creating a sociable arrangement ideal for everyday living and entertaining.

There are three bedrooms, including a particularly spacious principal bedroom positioned towards the rear of the bungalow. This room benefits from fitted storage and direct access to a en-suite shower room.

The remaining two bedrooms are both well proportioned, with one also featuring built-in cupboards. A separate family shower room serves the remaining accommodation.

A useful lean-to runs along the rear section of the property and provides additional storage.

The property is approached across a substantial shingle driveway, providing generous off-road parking for several vehicles. Established hedging and fencing offer a good degree of privacy, while the painted brick and weatherboard elevations give the bungalow an attractive coastal appearance.

The rear garden is enclosed by timber fencing and mature planting. It is arranged with an area of lawn alongside a large shingle seating terrace, providing space for outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxation. Mature shrubs and small trees add greenery and screening, while pathways provide access around both sides of the property.

Full planning permission has been granted for a single storey rear extension and a new raised roof to incorporate first floor accommodation, offering significant scope to extend and add value.
