Area Description:
This is just a brilliant central location, walking distance to the cliff top and beaches. Walking distance to the shops and Bournemouth Gardens.
Yes there is off road parking but will you ever need a car? Bus stops are close at hand on. From Poole Road there are buses every 3 minutes to the top end of Bournemouth and Poole. You can walk to Bournemouth town centre, to Westbourne, to Branksome Railway station(2 hours to London, direct route to Manchester) and to the Redlands Retail Park.
In a car you are within a quarter of a mile of the Wessex Way with at least dual carriageway to the New Forest and the UK motorway network. Plus Bournemouth International Airport is one of the fastest growing in the UK. And from Poole there are ferries to the Channel Islands and France.
For shopping, there is M&S Food in Westbourne. Just beyond that is Tesco and Lidl with a new Aldi soon at Redlands Retail Park, which has major stores such as John Lewis Home, Next Home, Home Bargains and Homebase. For easy shopping there is a small Co-Op in Queens Road. Asda is adjacent to the main Bournemouth railway station.
For fashion shopping the closeby top end of Bournemouth has Zara and Primark or catch a bus to the famous Castlepoint Shopping Centre.
Sport is brilliantly catered for with tennis within walking distance in the Bournemouth Gardens. Again walk to the cliff top to the Argyll Gardens Bowling Club(a great place for breakfast in it’s café).
The area is rich in golf courses-public courses in Bournemouth are at Meyrick Park and Queens Park. The popular Hallmark Health Club is within walking distance or Everlast Fitness Club is at Redlands Retail Park. You can walk along the beach or the prom all the way to the famous Sandbanks beaches, on the edge of Poole Harbour, the 2nd largest natural harbour in the world and haven to boats of all sizes as well as being a UK hub for windsurfing and kitesurfing. From Sandbanks, you can catch the chain ferry to the Purbeck Hills. There is a large cycling community and Dorset's Jurassic coast is a destination for walkers. Or visit the National Trust’s Brownsea Island.
Eating out? Where do you start to describe? Seconds from Bellona is the Olive Café, the Goat and Tricycle Pub incorporating the Poole Hill brewery, and the highly regarded Koh Thai tapas restaurant and Pinocchio pizzeria.
Westbourne is full of an eclectic mix of eateries and coffee shops as is Bournemouth. The local Daily Echo ran a recent article ‘Why Westbourne is foodie heaven’. Locally Westbourne is considered very much a village with lots of independent shops and the UK’s smallest cinema with just 19 seats. The pick of eateries are The Dancing Duck, Indi’s. Renoufs cheese and wine bar, the award winning Chez Fred fish ‘n chips and a real traditional pub-The Porterhouse.
And in Bournemouth there are the entertainment centres at the Pavilion Theatre, Bournemouth International Centre and lots of cinemas and of course the famous nightlife.
Work? Maybe you are at LV or Vitality or Nationwide. In which case you can walk to work. The area has become a significant employer in the South of England. As well as the companies I have just mentioned, the headquarters of JP Morgan, RNLI ,Sunseeker Marine, Barclays International and Merlin Entertainments are all based locally.
Bellona is an ideal place to live.
