In September of 2015 DPages blogpost covered a most amazing country manor home...
Dinder House. The 9 bedroom, 5 bath home is settled in a little slice of Somerset, England's countryside heaven. With its recent renovation they successfully blend the elements of traditional architectural design that are so hard to find here in the US with modern finishes. I've enclosed the original blogpost from Dpages below as it has boocou information about previous articles and the original designers that worked on the renovation. Yes...this has been added to my dream-home file for inspiration .... those large windows bringing the garden view into the home.... wonderful natural wood floors, the jewel box of a chandelier, the expanse of marble and shiny modern cabinets, and just through a little door off to the side of the kitchen is a working butlers pantry to die for, and of course the gorgeous wall color and trim. Another thing that shouldn't be overlooked, that is so important to creating the atmosphere of old homes.... HIGH ceilings! If you are trying to create a feeling of luxury you cannot overlook that element of design.

{Back in 2011, the Dinder House took the blogging world by storm soon after Tmagazine ran a feature on its newly revamped interiors. Since that time, the images of this Grade II listed Georgian home (est. 1801) have circulated and recirculated – showcasing the considerable design skills of Ilse Crawford and Artichoke, the designer and kitchen design specialists who were most responsible for the home’s new look. Recently, the Dinder Home’s current residents have put this little slice of Somerset, England countryside heaven back on the market and with it, offered up new insights and views into just what it’s like to live there. Complete with 9 bedrooms, 5 baths, a coach house and a 2 bedroom outbuilding – the Dinder House nestles in among 21.6 acres of rolling countryside, landscaping and walled gardens. If you ever fantasized about living a modern-day version of Downtown Abby… The Dinder House is ready, waiting and available to take you there. Cue theme song, “Did I Make the Most of Loving You?”… a question the current owners may very well be asking themselves right now.}
Happy Country Manor Home Dreaming....
