Hidden within the quiet leafy roads of Christchurch in Dorset, and close to multiple coastal attractions including central Christchurch and its Quay, Southbourne Beach, Bournemouth Town, Mudeford Sandspit, and Avon & Highcliffe Beaches — the stunning four-bedroom Oakwood, with its relaxing nooks, makes for a practical and spacious getaway on the south coast sleeping up to 8 people.
The space
Oakwood is located in a quiet residential area to the north of Christchurch Town, and comes with direct access to a local recreational park from its garden — ideal for dog walkers, children’s play, or for exercise.
This single storey multi-generational bungalow has been finished and furnished to high standards, and has a homely and cosy feel with gorgeous wood flooring throughout. There’s fantastic outdoor spaces at this property too, with a private and secluded feel.
From the main entrance door, through a front porch area and into the house, there are three bedrooms along the hallway, the first two with soft slate carpet underfoot.
The first room off the hall is a large spacious kingsize bedroom, with ample storage including a freestanding wardrobe, bedside chests, a vanity unit & chair; opposite a large window with venetian blinds.
On the other side of the hall is another smart double bedroom, with large built-in sliding mirrored wardrobe, bedside chests for storage, and a window and blinds.
Further along is the third of four bedrooms, which is ideal for infants, kids or teens, and comes with two single beds, a long side-table cabinet for storage, and wooden flooring.
Next, a modern spacious family bathroom is off the hallway, and is beautifully finished with a large walk-in shower cubicle, wall-hung toilet, twin wash basins with substantial storage cabinet, large mirror, heated towel rails, and a beautiful freestanding deep bath.
The main living dining area towards the rear is the heart of the home, with a gorgeous light filled open-plan lounge-dining-kitchen space, and central island.
The lounge section has three sofas surrounding a smart 50" TV, with DVD player, and coffee table cabinet. An exceptionally cosy space to unwind in the evenings.
A stunning oak dining table seats a large number of diners, and extends out further — with plenty of cushioned high back chairs for family meals.
The minimalist kitchen has a real wow factor, including a substantial island unit with gas hob and sink, dark granite worktops, curved edges, and a lustrous off-white cabinet finish — overlooking all the social areas of the room. It comes fully integrated with a dishwasher, double ovens, a wine fridge, and a large American-style fridge freezer unit. There's lots of storage cabinets filled with various cookware, tableware, glassware, crockery, utensils and cutlery, plus small appliances — everything you would ever need for a stay.
Near to the lounge area is the fourth bedroom, a simple double room, with storage cupboard, a desk and chair workspace, and a useful shower wet-room ensuite.
Next to the dining area are some well-thought out bi-fold doors, leading onto a smart decked area. The whole garden is beautifully landscaped, and has several oak trees on the back boundary, and a handy gate opening onto a large recreational field behind.
The contemporary garden features some play apparatus for little ones, and a wendy house. Most of this space has decking, and includes a three-piece rattan sofa set, an outdoor dining table with chairs, and ambient fence down lighting — ideal for warm summer days and evenings.
