Occupying an enviable position in one of Mudeford’s most sought-after coastal addresses, this substantial and beautifully presented residence offers an exceptional lifestyle opportunity, with impressive accommodation arranged over three floors, far-reaching views across towards Mudeford Quay, generous outside terraces and a superb detached annexe.

Designed to take full advantage of its setting, the home combines elegant contemporary living with excellent flexibility, making it ideally suited to family life, entertaining and visiting guests.

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.

For families school provision is good with Mudeford Junior judged ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted, while property choice includes old fishermen’s cottages, high-specification contemporary builds, marina developments and waterfront apartments.

Comprehensive facilities are available at Christchurch, two miles west.

Externally, the property offers a series of terraces and balconies, each carefully positioned to complement the internal accommodation and make the most of the coastal surroundings.

These areas provide excellent space for alfresco dining, entertaining or simply relaxing while enjoying the views across towards Mudeford Quay.

Viking Way is a highly regarded coastal address, perfectly placed for access to Mudeford Quay, Avon Beach, Christchurch Harbour and the surrounding coastal walks.

Local cafés, restaurants and village amenities are close by, while Christchurch town centre, excellent schooling, transport links and the wider Dorset and New Forest coastline are all within easy reach.
