Maiden Newton, Dorchester, Dorset

Beautifully presented three-bedroom village home, thoughtfully improved throughout, with a landscaped garden and versatile detached garden room.

The Property - A beautifully presented three bedroom house, thoughtfully improved and decorated by the current owners to create a warm and inviting home, with a particularly attractive landscaped garden and useful garden room.

The property is approached from the front into a welcoming entrance hall, which leads through to the principal living accommodation. The sitting/dining room is a particularly generous and versatile space, providing ample room for both comfortable seating and dining. The room has a pleasant outlook towards the garden and has a wood burning stove.

The kitchen is positioned to the front of the house and has been well arranged with a range of fitted units and work surfaces, together with space for the usual appliances. A cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor are three bedrooms, comprising two good sized double bedrooms and a smaller third bedroom, which would also make an ideal study or occasional guest room. All bedrooms are served by a modern family bathroom.

Throughout the house, the current owners have taken considerable care to decorate and improve the property, creating a home that is immediately appealing and requires little in the way of further work. The result is a comfortable and well balanced house, equally suited to a couple, young family or those looking for a village home with manageable accommodation.

Outside - The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create an attractive and surprisingly private space. A broad paved terrace provides an excellent area for outdoor dining and entertaining, while established planting, mature shrubs and a variety of potted plants give the garden a colourful and well-tended feel. The enclosed nature of the garden makes it particularly easy to enjoy and maintain, with a number of different areas providing interest throughout.

A significant additional feature is the detached garden room, which provides a useful and versatile space away from the main house. With its glazed frontage overlooking the garden, it would lend itself equally well to use as a home office, hobby room, studio or simply as an additional space in which to relax.

Situation - Maiden Newton is a thriving and well-served village offering a good range of local amenities, including a selection of shops, a first school, doctor’s surgery, petrol station with convenience store, public house, village hall and a railway station on the Weymouth/Dorchester to Bath and Bristol Temple Meads line.

The county town of Dorchester lies approximately 8 miles away and provides an extensive range of facilities, including several highly regarded schools, the renowned Dorset County Hospital and mainline rail services to London Waterloo.

The surrounding area offers an excellent choice of sporting and leisure pursuits, with golf available at Dorchester (Came Down), Sherborne and Yeovil. The rolling countryside is interlaced with an abundance of footpaths and bridleways, providing access to Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The stunning Jurassic Coast is just a few miles to the south, renowned for its sandy beaches, dramatic coastal walks and a wide range of water sports.
