Tucked away in a peaceful residential area in the charming seaside town of Christchurch rests this contemporary four-bedroom holiday home, 47 Brabazon Drive.

Idyllically positioned within easy reach of both the dramatic coastline of Dorset and the scenic woodland of the New Forest, 47 Brabazon Drive offers a group of friends or a large family the best of both worlds.

Park up on the spacious driveway nestled at the foot of this remarkable dwelling before unloading your bags and heading inside your new home-from-home to begin your staycation.

Dust off your sandy toes as you enter into the hallway, making use of the handy cloakroom to freshen up following a day at the beach before putting your feet up in front of the television in the sitting room to enjoy a moment of peace.

Follow the corridor through to the fabulous open-plan living space, where you can look forward to gathering together with your loved ones at the dining table to recount the days adventures as the designated chef utilises the fantastic range of amenities provided in the contemporary kitchen, stylishly adorned with quartz countertops, to prepare some tasty treats.

Make mealtimes an alfresco affair and throw open the elegant bi-fold doors for a sociable seat underneath the pergola in your private garden; a lovely spot to soak in the last of the evening sun with your favourite tipple.

As day turns to night, climb the stairs to the first floor and prepare for bed with a blissful soak in the bath, or opt for a quick rinse in the en-suite shower room.

When sleep calls choose between four beautifully-appointed bedrooms, with a king-size, one superking (zip-linked), one double and a twin bedroom offering flexible sleeping arrangements for a variety of party makeups.

Take a break from doing the cooking and head into the heart of Christchurch where you'll find a fantastic selection of eateries ranging from traditional country pubs, fine dining restaurants and quaint tea rooms, serving something to suit all tastes and budgets.

Pack up your bucket and spade and spend a day on the nearby Avon Beach, where you can bathe in the bay, feel the sand between your toes as you paddle the shores, or try your hand at kayaking or stand-up paddle boarding with expert tuition available at ShoreSports.

Lace up your walking boots and embark on a two-footed adventure through the peaceful woodland of the New Forest National Park, where you can watch the wildlife graze at Bolderwood Deer Sanctuary, or escape the hustle and bustle with a stroll through the conifer and hazel at Roydon Woods Nature Reserve.

Jump in the car and journey to the nearby town of Bournemouth, where you can discover the fascinating marine life on display at Oceanarium, try your luck on the penny slots aboard the Victorian Bournemouth Pier, or savour fresh fish and chips with a walk along the promenade, colourful beach huts to one side and the shores of the Channel to the other.

However you plan to spend your holiday, be sure to choose 47 Brabazon Drive as a base that you'll be delighted to return to.
