Osprey Close, Mudeford, Christchurch, BH23

This attractive 4 bedroom detached family house enjoys a sunny, secluded rear garden and is quietly situated in a peaceful cul-de-sac just a short walk from the picturesque Mudeford Quay, Avon Beach and Christchurch Harbour Hotel. Whilst the house has been well maintained over the years it is dated in parts and would benefit from some updating which is reflected in the price. There is no onward chain and viewing is highly recommended.

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!

Mudeford has also developed impressive foodie credentials with the likes of smart waterside restaurants The Jetty and Upper Deck at Christchurch Harbour Hotel, while there is an annual seafood festival on Mudeford Quay.
