The Property

Set in a beautiful, rural position and yet not far from good road links, this development site of 1.14 acres (0.46 hectares) includes two existing agricultural barns.

The second barn has been granted prior approval under "Class Q" permitted development for conversion of the agricultural building into two dwellings under reference (24/00907/pamb) This would create two further spacious semi-detached barn conversions, including three bedrooms each with their own en suite shower rooms, separate cloakroom, spacious open-plan kitchen / dining room and living room, and pleasant outlook.

Situation

The site is located just to the north of the small village of Dinnington, a beautiful and quiet village with its own parish church and local pub “The Dinnington Docks”. The nearby village of Hinton St George is one of South Somerset’s prettiest villages. The village centre is a real gem and much of it is designated a Conservation Area. The village is peaceful and carries no through traffic of any significance. There is a lovely pub “The Lord Poulett Arms”, excellent village shop, and an active 14th century church. All of which lie within walking distance. For those with small children there is also a small and well respected First school and Pre-School within the village. The surrounding countryside offers plenty of public footpaths and bridleways.

The small market town of Ilminster lies just 3 miles away to the west where the local stores are mostly centred around the market square and 15th century Minster church. It has everything you need from an excellent butchers and delicatessen, cheese and dairy shop, homewares and antiques stores, clothes boutiques and gift shops. The town is also well served by a town-centre Tesco store with ample free parking just a short walk from the town centre. Alongside the supermarket is a bowls club and tennis club. There is also a town library and well supported local theatre. Ilminster Arts centre is a vibrant arts venue with licensed cafe. There are plenty of other places to eat too, including pubs, restaurants, cafes and takeaways. The town has several hairdressers / beauty salons and a dental surgery. Ilminster is arguably one of South-Somerset's prettiest market towns and benefits from superb road links via the A303 and A358.

To the southeast the market town of Crewkerne has a Waitrose store, a further range of independent and high street shops, a superb swimming pool and fitness centre (Aquacentre) and mainline station (London Waterloo – Exeter).
