Situated in Christchurch, Dorset, this charming apartment offers a serene retreat for two, making it ideal for couples seeking a coastal getaway. The property features a spacious, double-height sitting and dining room, elegantly designed in a Scandinavian style, which spans approximately 29 square meters, excluding the kitchen area. The room is adorned with quality wooden furniture and versatile lighting options, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. The fully equipped kitchen, measuring around 5 square meters, boasts modern appliances including a gas hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge-freezer, kettle, and a cafetiere, complemented by a stylish stone worktop and breakfast bar.
The mezzanine floor houses a generously sized bedroom area, furnished with a comfortable John Lewis double bed dressed in pure cotton linens. The bedroom is thoughtfully designed with ample hanging space, a chest of drawers, a bedside table, and reading lights, while a skylight enhances the natural light. An open "wall" design connects the bedroom to the living area, creating a sense of spaciousness. The apartment also includes a large shower, a desk with broadband Wi-Fi, and a printer, ensuring convenience for guests. Gas central heating keeps the space cozy, and reserved parking is a valuable feature in this area known for its parking restrictions during peak months.
Guests will appreciate the apartment's prime location, just a short stroll from beautiful sandy Avon Beach, which is only four minutes away, and Mudeford Quay, known for its watersports and foot ferry to Hengistbury Head, accessible within five minutes. The nearby fine dining restaurant, The Jetty, is a mere twelve-minute walk. The apartment serves as a perfect base for exploring the New Forest, Bournemouth, Lymington (with its ferry to the Isle of Wight), and the picturesque regions of Dorset and Hampshire, all within easy driving distance. Public transport options, including local buses and the Beryl Bikes hire scheme, are also available for those wishing to explore the surrounding area further.
While the flat is located on the high first floor and accessed via external stairs, it features a narrow internal staircase leading to the mezzanine, which may not be suitable for individuals with mobility issues or small children. Guests should be aware that occasional traffic noise and sounds from the shop below may be heard. This property serves as a second home for the owners, rather than a commercial letting, and they hope that visitors will enjoy the space as much as they do. The surrounding natural beauty, including the New Forest National Park and local attractions such as Littledown Sports Center and Boscombe Chine Gardens Mini Golf Course, alongside recreational activities like game walks and birdwatching, make this a delightful location for a memorable holiday experience.
