Dinder House, English country house in Dinder, England.
The two-story Regency building features a symmetrical design with outer bays, constructed from local limestone with a slate roof and stone chimneys.
Reverend William Somerville constructed Dinder House between 1799 and 1801 on land that belonged to the Bishopric of Wells since the 12th century.
The residence includes architectural elements from the Georgian period, reflecting the design preferences of English landed gentry at the start of the 19th century.
The Grade II listed building stands within landscaped grounds crossed by the River Sheppey, accessed via a historical stone bridge.
Admiral James Somerville, who commanded the British fleet operation at Mers-el-Kébir in 1940, resided at Dinder House until his death in 1949.
