It's just a short stroll to Bournemouth's Blue Flag beaches at this family-sized home. The shops, cafes and restaurants of Southbourne are on your doorstep too. Up on the top floor, you can catch sea glimpses, rather than sea views, but it's an open, social spot with a full kitchen, dining area and main lounge. The bonus is the little cinema snug down a couple of stairs. Sunny days mean making the most of the enclosed back garden where picnic tables offer a casual place to dine outside and a private hot tub is available during the summer months for an evening soak.

About Christchurch
As the waters of England’s south coast wind inwards from the sea, they form the River Avon and the River Stour, which then split up to house Christchurch right in the middle. Beyond the salty spray of the beaches, this little town is peppered with Norman castles and ancient heritage. It’s one of the UK’s top retirement spots, but that certainly doesn’t mean there’s nothing going on here – you...
