On the first floor there are two naturally light double bedrooms which enjoy stunning far reaching views across the surrounding countryside and garden along with the family bathroom which comprises a Jacuzzi bath and separate shower enclosure.

Rivendell is situated within the village of East Chinnock which lies directly between the towns of Yeovil and Crewkerne. The village has a church and village hall which holds regular coffee mornings and visits from a fruit/veg van. Both Yeovil and Crewkerne offer a good range of day to day amenities and facilities together with mainline railway stations, Yeovil offering both Penn Mill and Yeovil Junction. East Chinnock is surrounded by some of Somerset’s most glorious countryside with a large amount of public footpaths allowing for dog walking etc. Nearby is Ham Hill Country Park, famous for it’s views and walking.

Rivendell is approached from the village road via a right of access over an initial driveway. A five bar wooden gate opens to the private gravelled driveway which provides ample parking and in turn leads to the open fronted carport. The garage/workshop features double doors opening onto the driveway, power, light as well as space and plumbing for additional appliances.

The wonderful cottage gardens wrap around the side and rear of the property and are filled with an exciting array of mature trees, shrubs and plants which offer plenty of colour and interest throughout the year. Separate areas created within the garden provide different options for alfresco dining, seating and entertaining, including an area of lawn with a mature apple tree which provides welcome shade in the summer months.

At one side of the garden is a useful timber shed, a large greenhouse along with a wooden summerhouse with external pergola which offers plenty of scope to be modified for a work from office/hobby/craft room.
