The Edwardian villa style houses within the area all sit in large deep plots and enjoy an abundance of character coming from the distinctive arts and craft architectural details they were originally designed with. The area has distinct sense of community and has managed to avoid mass redevelopment which is so often seen across Bournemouth & Poole with a number of the homes listed as architectural heritage assets.

Westbourne village is nearby and offers a variety of independent shops, restaurants and coffee houses as well as the popular well known high street names such as Marks & Spencer.

The Bournemouth Wessex Way is very close and gives direct access to the M27 motorway with London just 1 hour 30 minutes commute. There are also main line train routes from either Poole or Bournemouth railway stations which connect the Weymouth to London Waterloo South West train service.
