About this property
2 North Road is set within its own enclosed grounds in the heart of Maiden Newton, and is a thoughtfully extended and beautifully updated bungalow, offering a tranquil two-bedroom retreat in a well-connected Dorset village - ideal for couples or small families, as well as those looking to bring their dog along.
Inside, the space feels easy and inviting. The sitting room centres around a log burner, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere through the cooler months, while the newly fitted kitchen and dining room offers a more contemporary feel, with a sleek design and a generous layout designed for both everyday living and spending time together. From here, the conservatory opens out as a light-filled addition, perfectly positioned to enjoy views of the garden throughout the seasons. The two bedrooms are both generously sized and well proportioned. The principal bedroom is positioned at the rear and arranged as a comfortable double, with doors opening directly onto the garden, a subtle but welcome link between inside and out. The second bedroom, set to the front of the property, is arranged as a twin with zip/link beds, offering flexible accommodation for children, friends or additional guests. The bathroom has been recently updated, with a bath and shower over, along with a wash basin and WC, finished in a clean, simple style.
Outside, the enclosed garden offers a peaceful space to spend time, whether it’s a morning coffee or a slower afternoon, and is well-suited for guests travelling with a dog. Off-road parking and a car port add to the ease of your stay. Maiden Newton itself has a gentle, unspoilt charm, with a shop, pub, café and restaurant all within easy walking distance. Surrounded by rolling Dorset countryside, it’s a wonderful base for getting out on foot, with plenty of local walks right from the doorstep.
Further afield, the Jurassic Coast is within easy reach, with popular spots such as West Bay and Lyme Regis offering dramatic coastal scenery, beaches and opportunities for fossil hunting. The market town of Bridport is a short drive away, known for its independent shops and vibrant market, while Dorchester offers a mix of history, museums and riverside walks. For days out a little further afield, Abbotsbury’s subtropical gardens and swannery, or the sweeping views from Hardy’s Monument, make for memorable visits. The nearby railway station, on the Heart of Wessex line, also makes it easy to explore further afield, with connections to Weymouth, Bristol and Bath. 2 North Road is a place to settle into village life at your own pace, with countryside, coast and comfort all close at hand.
Maiden Newton is a lovely village, well placed for the Jurassic Coast and the numerous Dorset beaches, the coast at Abbotsbury being a beautiful fifteen minute drive across country from the village. Days out and very worthy of a visit whilst in the area are Durdle Dor, Lulworth Cove, West Bay, Lyme Regis and Seatown, to name but a few. Other attractions nearby include the Swannery and the Subtropical Gardens at Abbotsbury, Hardy's Monument with its stunning views of Chesil Bank and Portland. Portland has some wonderful coastal and inland walks, or you just can go for breakfast/lunch outside at the Lighthouse cafe and drink in the impressive scenery.
