Property information

The Dairy House is a charming, Grade II listed ham-stone cottage set within the private parkland of Dillington House. This detached hideaway features historic details like mullioned windows, oak beams, and a large fireplace with a wood-burning stove. One of its standout features is the secluded garden, stone terrace and large garden room which allows you to enjoy the surroundings in any weather. There's also a luxurious wood-fired hot tub with views over the parkland.

Neighbourhood information

The Dairy House sits within the private parkland of Dillington House, offering total privacy with access to both the surrounding park and the cottage's own garden. Several excellent pubs are nearby, some within walking distance, like the Barrington Boar, and others worth a short drive or cycle, such as The Dinnington Docks and Lord Poulett Arms. Local attractions include Barrington Court (National Trust), Dillington House, and Dennis Chinaworks in Shepton Beauchamp, perfect for a visit to the tea rooms. Cider lovers can explore nearby orchards and presses, including Perry’s Cider in Dowlish Wake and Julian Temperley’s cider brandy distillery at Burrow Hill. Further afield, the Jurassic Coast and Lyme Regis are about 40 minutes south, while the Hauser & Wirth gallery in Bruton lies roughly 40 minutes east.
