Nestled in the charming village of Maiden Newton, sits Norden House, a delightful detached holiday home, boasting wonderful original features, exposed beams and traditional stonework. This property provides the perfect base for a family or group of friends looking for a quieter staycation, immersed within the tranquil Dorset countryside. Stepping inside the property, be welcomed into the comfortable sitting room where the woodburning stove adds a touch of charm and warmth on those chillier evenings, providing the perfect spot to spend time with your loved ones, whether it be planning your holiday itinerary or watching a family favourite film. Move your conversations into the country style kitchen, where the designated chef of the group can rustle up delicious home cooked meals while the others set the dining table and pop open a bottle of wine, before retiring to the cosy snug and enjoying a quiet night in, making a start in that book you have been saving. A downstairs shower room with walk in shower, basin and WC completes the ground floor. Moving upstairs, choose from one of the three elegant bedrooms; one double benefiting from an en-suite shower room with walk in shower, basin and WC, and a further double room and a twin room, both served by a chic bathroom complete with a bath for those who like to indulge in a long soak after a busy day exploring the local area, along with an overhead shower, basin and WC. In the warmer months, why not enjoy a spot of alfresco dining in the enclosed garden, where your four legged companion can run off some energy whilst you sit and relax, reflecting on the holiday so far. Venture out for the day and take a stroll along the River Frome before heading into the centre of the village of Maiden Newton to discover a scatter of shops and eateries which is sure to make for a delightful afternoon outing. Explore more of the Dorset AONB, beginning at the nearby Hog Cliff National Nature Reserve, or choose to ramble along the West Dorset Heritage Coast providing unforgettable views and seascapes. This fantastic area is a haven for walkers and cyclists alike, with so many trails and paths already carved out for you, and with plenty of quaint tea rooms and cafes to stop at along the way. Not far away is the bustling towns of Lyme Regis, Weymouth and West Bay, all excellent choices for a day out exploring the local sights and taking in the history. Norden House is a wonderful home away from home, perfect for taking on the delights of Dorset.
The delightful village of Maiden Newton rests in the heart of Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, boasting a wealth of shops, a local pub and restaurant, and the historic church of St. Mary.
