SITUATION Dinnington is a small rural village within South Somerset which benefits from a well reputed pub, The Dinnington Docks. Nearby Hinton St George has amenities including village shop, cafe and public house, and a wider range of amenities including a Waitrose supermarket are available in the town of Crewkerne, with South Petherton and Ilminster also within easy reach.
 
Transport links are good with the A303 trunk road easily accessible and a mainline train station in Crewkerne offering rail links with London (Waterloo) and Exeter. DESCRIPTION 1 Rose Green is a delightful attached cottage which was originally part of the Poulett Estate, before it was rescued and rebuilt in the 1960s using attractive stone elevations beneath a tiled roof. The original year of construction is unknown, yet several fine character features offer an internal glimpse of the age of the property, particularly the inglenook fireplace in the sitting room which, with an impressive Hamstone mantle, suggests origins dating back to a previous century. The accommodation is spacious throughout with well-proportioned rooms, and there is scope for improvement and personalisation if desired.
 
Internally the accommodation is arranged over 2 floors with 2 sizeable reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, pantry and a shower room on the ground floor and 2 generous double bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. The reception rooms interlink through double glass doors, allowing separation to provide a formal dining room and a comfortable sitting room, or a more open plan aspect for different occasions, and ample storage is available throughout including built in wardrobes in both bedrooms.
 
The property enjoys a large plot of just over 0.9 of an acre which is divided into areas of parking, garden, woodland and paddock as well as a single garage. Much of the land is arranged to the rear of the property with the garden comprising well stocked beds, a herb and asparagus garden, an ornamental pond and a wildlife area leading to the paddock which is fully enclosed and benefits from a field shelter, offering potential for keeping livestock or horses and conjuring images of a wonderful rural lifestyle to be achieved whilst enjoying all the benefits of the country cottage.
