At the end of a busy day, imagine strolling down your 165 ft long west facing garden in the late afternoon sunshine, to enjoy a glass of wine or a beer whilst sat on your sun lounger which you have positioned on the elevated timber decked veranda/sun terrace overlooking the River Stour, with views across to the protected open green space (SANG). You may even be tempted to cast a line and see what bites!

'Burnside' is a all about location, a detached riverside residence, set in grounds of approximately one third of an acre with riverside frontage and a small jetty with fishing rights to the river. The house enjoys a delightful non estate, semi-rural setting, with a popular family pub being a short walking distance.

Little Canford is a small enclave of Riverside homes just two miles to the east of Wimborne Minster. Originally built 1966 and formally owned by Stour Bank, an adjacent period house, Burnside was substantially extended in 1985, sold to our clients by the only previous owners in 2003. The house was then completely refurbished and modernised and provides spacious,. well-presented and well-planned accommodation.
