Mostly Detached Family Houses
The Broadstone ward had 4,275 households in the 2021 Census. Four in five (81.5%) live in detached houses, and 56% own their home outright. Many of the people moving are older owners selling a family home they have lived in for decades, which means a full house, a loft, a garage and a garden shed.
- Most houses have a drive, so the van can usually park right outside.
- We bring blankets, straps and a trolley for pianos, dressers and garden furniture.
- We can split the load so some goes to the new home and some to family or charity.
See our house removals service for what a full move includes.
New Flats Around Lower Blandford Road
Broadstone has more flats than it used to. Woodland View at 159 Lower Blandford Road added new apartments between 2023 and 2025, and in March 2024 AJC and the housing association Abri announced 33 affordable apartments in the area. These give people a way to downsize without leaving Broadstone, and a move from a house on a nearby road to one of these flats can often be done in a morning.
The Broadway and Getting Around
The Broadway, on the B3074, is the main shopping street. Broadstone station opened in 1872 as New Poole Junction but is long gone, and the nearest station today is Hamworthy, about 3 miles away. Recent sales on York Road, Ridgeway, Grange Road, Charborough Road and Story Lane show how spread out the village is, so we confirm the exact address and parking before quoting. Moves out to Wimborne or the rest of Dorset are covered by our long-distance moves.
Broadstone Heath, a 24-acre heathland reserve, sits on the edge of the village and is protected, so it limits new building nearby.
