Location
Dinder is a quintessential Somerset village, lying approximately 3 miles east of Wells and set blissfully away from main roads and through traffic. Life here moves at a gentler pace, shaped by its strong sense of community and unspoilt rural surroundings.
At its heart stands a Grade II* listed church of Norman origin, alongside a cricket club and a variety of thriving local societies that contribute to village life throughout the year. One of Dinder’s most treasured qualities is its immediate access to a remarkable network of footpaths and bridleways, leading through ancient woodland and open countryside — perfect for walking and quiet exploration, all far removed from traffic.
To the east lies the larger village of Croscombe, offering further amenities.
Red Brick Cottages, Nos. 1 and 2, occupy an enviable edge-of-village position, approached via a small no-through lane and perfectly placed for enjoying the surrounding rural landscape.
Description
A lane runs from the village road to a pair of adjacent and attractive period cottages. No. 1 sits next to the lane, enjoying both privacy and tranquility.
A shared forecourt lies before the cottage’s lawned front garden, with a right of access across it to the parking area and garage.
The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall. To the right is a comfortable and cosy sitting room with timber flooring, and a fireplace with a pine surround.
Across the hall is the dining room, equally suited to everyday family life having a tiled floor, a fireplace with a wood burning stove, an understairs cupboard plus access into a useful utility/boiler room
A door opens from the dining room into the well fitted kitchen which has a tiled floor, wall tiling and is well fitted with attractive contemporary units and work surfaces, a Belfast sink and appliances including an electric hob, oven, extractor unit, dishwasher, fridge and freezer. There’s also an adjacent alcove with further units including a cupboard housing a washing machine.
First floor
A door from the dining room leads up a painted staircase to the first floor landing. This serves 3 bedrooms (one with a built in cupboard), a walk in storeroom, and a bathroom.
The bathroom has painted floorboards, wall tiling, a loo, basin and a bath with shower above and shower screen.
One of a pair of cottages that would be ideal as multi-generational living or combined into one home.
Outside
In front of the cottage is a lawned garden and a parking space in front of the garage.
A path leads to the sunny rear garden which is also reached by the back door from the kitchen

P.S.
A few extra comments.
Mortgages – we can help.

Sometimes we can negotiate an agreement to suit both sellers and buyers.
Sometimes a bridging loan can solve problems and remove stress.
