This home’s location is hard to beat, we think. The River Stour is just 100 metres away, with a public slipway from where you can launch kayaks and boats. Bournemouth’s Blue Flag beaches are a short walk away, too. That’s if you can tear yourself away from the gardens which extend to half an acre. There’s a pond, a large lawn, a barbecue and a patio area, as well as a trampoline. Inside, there are several sitting rooms (one with an open fire) and a garden room. This place is perfect for a family or group of friends looking to get the most out of Dorset.

Local guide
About Christchurch
As the waters of England’s south coast wind inwards from the sea, they form the River Avon and the River Stour, which then split up to house Christchurch right in the middle. Beyond the salty spray of the beaches, this little town is peppered with Norman castles and ancient heritage. It’s one of the UK’s top retirement spots, but that certainly doesn’t mean there’s nothing going on here – you...
