About Littledown

Littledown, a suburb of Bournemouth in Dorset, has transitioned from a historic farming community to a residential area amidst the town's expansion. Originally a cluster of farm buildings near Holdenhurst Village, Littledown saw significant change in the early 1980s when the Cooper-Dean family sold Littledown House and its surrounding farmland to Bournemouth Council. Following public consultations, much of the land was developed for housing, while a substantial portion was designated for a park and sports centre, making it an area of interest for planning applications related to residential and recreational development.

Property prices in Littledown show an average sale price of £361,543, based on 50 recent transactions recorded by HM Land Registry.
