Lyons Gate, Dorchester DT2

A four bedroom detached bungalow set in 1.29 acres – tucked away in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The Property

Midway is a four bedroom detached bungalow set in 1.29 acres of gardens and grounds, quietly tucked away off a slip road in a small rural hamlet within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Offering generous living space, versatile accommodation, and wonderful outdoor areas, this property is perfectly suited for those seeking peace, privacy, and scope to create a home tailored to their needs.

Inside, the entrance hall leads to a light and spacious dual-aspect sitting room, complete with a wood-burning stove. Double doors open through to the dining room. The adjoining kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units and enjoys a pleasant outlook over the gardens. From the dining room, sliding doors open into the conservatory, a bright and relaxing space that makes the most of the garden views.

The property offers four comfortable bedrooms, each with plenty of natural light, along with a family bathroom featuring a WC, wash hand basin, bath, and separate shower. The layout provides flexibility for family living, guest accommodation, or home office space.

Outside

The grounds are a particular highlight of Midway. Extending to 1.29 acres, the gardens wrap around the bungalow, with sweeping lawns interspersed with mature trees and established shrubs. A charming spring-fed stream runs through the grounds, crossed by a bridge that leads to a more informal garden area — ideal as a wildlife haven.

At the far end of the plot, with its own access from the A352, lies a yard with an open barn. Previously used as a wood and garden store, this space offers exciting potential for a variety of uses, from storage or workshops to the possibility of further development, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

Practical features include a utility room accessed from the garden, an external WC, garden shed, greenhouse and polytunnel.

To the front of the property there is ample off-road parking and a double garage, .

Situation

Midway lies off a small lane off the Cerne Valley A352 road which provides convenient access to the historic Abbey town of Sherborne (about 8 miles to the north) and the county town of Dorchester (about 12 miles to the south), as well as Yeovil. These towns all provide a wide range of shopping, commercial and educational facilities in the area.

All three towns have mainline railway stations to London/Waterloo. Cerne Abbas, about 3 miles, is noted for its excellent village facilities with a doctors' and dispensing surgery, village store/sub post office, first school, church, modern village hall, tea room and three public houses.
