Our house is surrounded by woods and parkland and is approximately one mile from the sea front. Its privacy and seclusion make for very pleasant living. The Queens Park Golf Club is within walking distance. Access to the conurbation that is Christchurch, Bournemouth and Poole is easy and each town has wonderful landmarks. For example, the Priory, the Chines that lead down to the nine mile bay and Brownsea Island in the glorious Poole harbour.
Bournemouth is a premier beach resort so not only is it always clean and tidy, but has a range of amenities for all ages. By far the main attraction is the natural beauty of its situation. The huge bay, with safe golden sands, has to the North the Isle of Wight and to the South, Old Harry Rocks as its gate posts. Here, historical sites are cherished and include Hengistbury Head, where Iron Age ramparts are still to be seen. Slightly further afield is the world famous Stonehenge, and as for London, it is just 2 hours away by coach or even less by train…
