Family house in Christchurch, England near river, historic town and sandy beach
4 bedroom house in historic Christchurch, a delightful town on the south coast of England surrounded by beautiful countryside and coastline. Easy walking to town centre and river, with restaurants, cafes, bookshop, leisure centre, swimming pool, 900 year old Priory church and small theatre/cinema. Easy cycling to safe, clean and sandy beaches.
Our family home is situated on a private road overlooking school fields, with off road parking. Recently modernised kitchen and bathroom. Free fibre wifi. Large private garden with trampoline and full size table tennis.
The popular holiday resort of Bournemouth, the New Forest National Park and the Jurassic coastline are a short car or bus ride away. Stonehenge, Thomas Hardy's Dorset, Highclere Castle (the setting for Downton Abbey) and Corfe Castle (setting for Enid Bylton's Kirrin Castle) are all within an hour's drive. Some families have even travelled to Warner Bros. studios for the 'Making of Harry Potter Experience' (2 hour car journey).
In Christchurch there is a train station, which you can easily walk to from our house, to catch the regular direct train to London (2 hours), where you will arrive at Waterloo station. This is a few minutes walk to the London Eye and Big Ben. By train, you can also travel to Weymouth travelling West or travel East to see historic Portsmouth docks or Winchester, a beautiful cathedral city.
