About the area

Moordown at a glance

Moordown runs along Wimborne Road just north of Winton, and it has a quieter, more residential feel than its busy neighbour. Our Bournemouth office is a short walk down the road, so we know Moordown street by street.

Homes are mostly 1930s semis and detached houses, inter-war terraces and bungalows on the side roads, with purpose-built flats nearer the main road. That mix makes Moordown popular with first-time buyers, young families and people moving up from a flat. Redhill Park and the River Stour are close by, and buses run straight down Wimborne Road into the town centre.
