About the host
Hosted by Samantha Fuery
I have been living Somerset since moving back to England from America with my family 4 years ago. Originally from Shropshire I love to holiday with my family, horse ride, walk, read, shop for antiques, drink fine wine and eat at good restaurants.
Why they chose this property
My husband grew up in Somerset so when we moved back from the States, and after 18 years of a lot of house moves, we were thrilled to find our forever home and West House in the beautiful and much sort after village of Dinder. With it's beautiful chocolate box houses, village cricket pitch and close proximity to Wells, Bruton, Glastonbury and Frome it was the perfect place to finally put down roots.
What makes this property unique
West House is a beautifully quirky house with many features of the early Victorian era. There are original wooden floors in parts, a large inglenook fireplace in the sitting room, (which was once the kitchen to the main house), and gorgeous arch topped bedroom doors befitting an Old Rectory. The walled garden is incredibly special with lots of well established plants, trees and flowers and being West facing is a lovely sun trap in the early evening. When we moved to the area we completely renovated the house creating stunning ensuite bathrooms, a fabulous kitchen diner and a home that our guests and friends and family love to stay in.
