has an open log fire (ideal for a cosy
winter’s evening) leading out into the

overlooks the garden. The fully enclosed
level garden has a large grassed area for
children to enjoy and a large patio area for

woodland and heath land, great for walking

woodland is Moors Valley Country Park which
makes a great day out for families. The
coastline with its Blue Flag beaches at
Poole and Bournemouth are just a short
drive, as is the famous New Forest National

box’ villages and rugged coastline.
