About this property

31 Bull Lane is a charming terraced holiday home situated in the heart of Maiden Newton, Dorset. With convenient parking and a warm welcome for two well-behaved pets, this delightful retreat is perfect for families or groups of friends seeking a memorable escape in the picturesque Dorset countryside. Step inside to find a well-appointed kitchen with all you need to whip up tasty home-cooked meals, which can be enjoyed in the adjoining living/dining area. With a dining table and a TV to hand, it’s a great spot for gathering over dinner or settling in for a quiet night with your favourite programs.

Throw open the doors to the enclosed rear garden, where you’ll find a patio for alfresco meals and a lawn for lounging with a good book or simply enjoying the peaceful air of Maiden Newton. Outdoor furniture invites you to put your feet up and take in the calm surroundings. Upstairs, three thoughtfully dressed bedrooms promise a restful night’s sleep. There’s a cheerful double room, a generous double with its own en-suite featuring a walk-in shower, and a cosy single room, plus a family bathroom fitted with a shower over the tub, a fine place to soak after a day out and about.

A convenient downstairs cloakroom with a basin and WC rounds things off nicely. Embark on an exploration of your surroundings in Dorset, starting with what's on your doorstep, as the property overlooks Hog Cliff National Nature Reserve, a Site of Special Scientific Interest with a network of paths and routes to follow, ideal for a morning dog walk. Maiden Newton is nestled in the Frome valley with access to the Macmillan Way and Wessex Ridgeway as well as beautiful local walking routes along the river and surrounding hills, with a cycle path that follows the River Frome to Dorchester. Just moments away from the property you can find a small rural train station on the Wessex Line with trains to Bristol and Weymouth.

History enthusiasts will revel in a visit to the Dorset Museum & Art Gallery, brimming with intriguing artefacts and vibrant exhibits reflecting the rich history and heritage of the area. Venture further back in time with a visit to Maiden Castle, one of the largest and most complex Iron Age hill forts in Europe. Literary fans must head to the National Trust's Hardy's Cottage, the birthplace of novelist and poet Thomas Hardy and a magical window into rural life in Victorian England. Another fascinating site, the National Trust's Cerne Giant, a hillside chalk carving, is a site to behold nearby. A short drive away you will reach the coast at Burton Bradstock, with the famous Hive Beach Cafe and access to the south west coast path.

The vibrant coastal market town of Bridport is not far away, with its twice weekly street market for you to explore. As your day draws to a close, return to the comfort and calm of 31 Bull Lane, your home away from home during your memorable stay in enchanting Dorset.

Maiden Newton is a town-sized village in the county of Dorset and surrounded by an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Within the village you'll find shops, a pub and a restaurant. Maiden Newton is also home to the Church of St. Mary, which is one of the most interesting buildings in the village. The church door is thought to be the oldest wooden church door in England. For fine beaches, fossils and cliff walks, look no further than the South Dorset Heritage Coast where you'll also find the towns of Lyme Regis, with its famous Cobb, Charmouth, with its sandy beach, or West Bay, where you can fish off the pier.
