Dinnington is situated equidistant from Ilminster and Crewkerne in an area of unspoilt Somerset countryside, surrounded by open farmland and woodland. The village has a small Parish Church and Public House (The Dinnington Docks). In the nearby village of Hinton St George there is a primary school, community shop, post office and gastropub (The Lord Poulett Arms). Nearby towns are all within easy reach Ilminster 4 miles, Crewkerne 4 miles, Yeovil 12 miles, Taunton 16 miles.
The property is approached by an area of off-road parking to the right. The south-westerly facing rear garden is a rural haven and is laid to lawn, raised beds and gravel and further complemented by a pond, mature shrubs and colourful flora. It is completely private and enclosed, ideal for those with pets and/or children as well as being a relative blank canvas for keen gardeners and an idyllic setting for alfresco dining and sitting out in the warmer months.
