Binnegar doesn't offer much to hang a description on beyond its own name: no school, transport, crime or housing figures have come through for the village itself, and without those there's no honest way to sketch its streets, its schools, or what a house there might cost you.
What can be said sits at the regional level. Dorset's typical house price runs to £335,000, itself below the South West average of £350,949, and the wider region trends older than the country as a whole — a median age of 44 against a national 40.4 — which tells you this corner of England leans toward settled, established living rather than youthful churn. Employment and qualification levels across the South West track close to the national picture, neither markedly stronger nor weaker, and green space provision in the region (around 9.6 hectares per thousand people) sits a little below the national average of 11.3, though still enough that this isn't a place people associate with concrete.
None of that, though, is really about Binnegar. It's about the county and region it sits within, and a place this small deserves better than being described by the numbers around it rather than the numbers in it. If you're weighing up whether you could live here and not regret it, the honest answer is that this particular village hasn't yet given up enough of itself — no named school, no station, no sense of its streets — to let anyone say with confidence what daily life there actually feels like.
