Purchased brand new in 2025, Chantry Lodge is in beautiful condition and is in a great position on the perimeter of Sandhills Coastal Retreat. Overlooking Christchurch Harbour, yet set back amongst the trees, this Lodge affords you privacy whilst still being able to watch the world go by outside. There is a large decking area to the front and side of the lodge with outside dining table and 4 chairs for relaxing over a morning coffee, a leisurely breakfast or an evening meal whilst enjoying the view. The sunsets are particularly stunning over the harbour.
The living area is thoughtfully designed as an open, sociable space with a large and comfortable L shaped sofa, patio doors opening onto the decking and a dining area adjacent to the kitchen.
The kitchen is well equipped and includes a range cooker with a 5 burner gas hob for those who enjoy cooking and entertaining, an integrated microwave, dishwasher, fridge freezer and a washer/dryer.
The lounge has a lovely, flame effect electric fire which is perfect for those more chilly evenings. It heats up the room very nicely and creates a cosy atmosphere to curl up on the sofa with a good book or to enjoy a movie on the wall mounted Smart TV.
The WiFi connection is good and there is a selection of books and games to enjoy at your leisure.
The master bedroom boasts a spacious king size bed, an ensuite bathroom and plenty of storage space.
Both bathrooms have heated towel rails and power showers.
Bedding and towels are provided but please bring your own beach/pool towels.
There is a parking space adjacent to the Lodge which is very handy for loading/unloading the car. There are electric car charging points in the main car park.
Sandhills has a beautifully decorated and recently renovated club lounge which serves a selection of hot and cold drinks and entertainment is provided periodically throughout the year.
The fabulous heated swimming pool and children's paddling pool can be accessed through the lounge or through the side gate. There are plenty of comfortable loungers around the pool and a sun deck.
There is a small gym on site and a large, recently renovated children's play area.
Sandhills is perfectly located for exploring and enjoying everything that Mudeford and the surrounding areas have to offer.
There are two gates on the park, giving direct access to the promenade where you can turn right for Mudeford Quay, famous for its crabbing, The Haven House Inn and local freshly caught fish.
There is also a cafe, gift shop and a watersports centre. From here, you can take the short ferry ride over to Mudeford Spit and Hengistbury Head which has beautiful beaches, wonderful walks, a nature reserve and an on site restaurant/cafe. From Mudeford Quay, you can also take the river ferry to the historic town of Christchurch and visit the Priory, shops and numerous restaurants and tearooms.
Turn left out of the gate at Sandhills and you are on Avon Beach where you will find The Noisy Lobster restaurant/bar, a cafe, coffee shop and a gift shop which also sells baked goods and many of your everyday essentials.
A fairly new addition to the beach are the fabulous saunas which can be rented by the hour, either individually or as a private group.
There is also an ice cream kiosk which serves a wonderful selection of flavours. There are many local attractions and places to explore including The New Forest National Park with it's many pretty villages and activities for the children which include a waterpark and Moors Valley Country Park.
Historical places of interest including Highcliffe Castle (a short drive away but can also be accessed from Avon Beach) and Corfe Castle in the Purbecks.
Lymington is a half an hour drive away and has a fantastic array of shops and Saturday market and from here you can catch a ferry to the Isle of Wight.
There are many more attractions locally and a display of tourist information leaflets can be found in reception.
Chantry Lodge is the perfect place to retreat to all year round for a peaceful relaxing break away or for some fun, quality time spent with the family.
