Little Bank, Dillington Estate, Ilminster

About this property

Now, after its stunning renovation the house has been transformed into an immaculate four-bedroom home with a loft-style, open-plan kitchen and dining room.

Each bedroom is designed and furnished to the highest standard and all have their own en-suites. The living / entertainment space features exposed roof trusses with bi-fold doors which open outside to a large, paved terrace and floral garden where you’ll find a dining set, outdoor lounge suite and BBQ. A wood-fired hot-tub sits on the garden’s top tier and has views across the orchard to the woods beyond. The Estate’s parkland surrounds the house, offering easy access to miles of footpaths to explore the Somerset countryside.

Little Bank overlooks the parkland around Dillington House and there is a footpath immediately outside the property, offering a wide choice of walks right on your doorstep. There is a farmshop a minute’s walk from the house, with a deli-counter for anything you might be missing, and fresh barista coffee for a full-flavoured caffeine boost.
