5 bed detached house for sale

Donnington Drive, Mudeford, Christchurch BH23

A well-proportioned detached family home, situated in a highly desirable area within walking distance of Avon Beach and nearby amenities. The property offers generous living accommodation, including five bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large garden room, off-road parking, and an integral garage.

The situation

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.

Outside

The property is approached via a block-paved driveway providing ample off-road parking and access to the integral garage.

The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn, enclosed by mature hedging and fencing, and features a large patio adjoining the property.

A substantial garden room, currently used as a games room, sits to the rear, complemented by an adjoining barbecue area and a covered seating space.

The property

From the dining area, doors open into a conservatory with a log burner, creating an appealing focal point, while enjoying pleasant views over the garden.

A useful utility room, adjacent to the kitchen, provides further storage and space/plumbing for white goods, and also gives access to the integral garage.
